At the conference, voters of Na Ngoi commune suggested paying attention to adding more land for production. Voters said that currently, there are many protective forests, while there is little land for production. “The population is increasing, living mainly on the forests and mountains, but now most of it is protective forests and touching them is a violation. Therefore, there is no livelihood, no farming,” said voter Vi Van Din.

Speaking at the conference, delegate Nguyen Huu Cau said, aboutRegarding the issue of lack of land for ethnic minorities, many localities have reported this issue, and delegates have forwarded this issue to the National Assembly and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. "I myself questioned the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development about this issue to allocate forest land for people to produce. After that, Ky Son was allowed to allocate 30 hectares of forest land for people to produce, but it is currently stuck in the law so we have to wait a while longer," said Colonel Cau.
