Unable to allocate land area with natural forest for people's production

Specifically, voters of Xop Nam village, Tam Hop commune, Tuong Duong district proposed that the Provincial People's Committee direct Tuong Duong Forestry One Member Co., Ltd. to hand over part of the area in plots 1 and 3, sub-area 682 to 82 households of Xop Nam village for production because the area is 1,152,087.5 m²The land recovered by the Provincial People's Committee and handed over to the Commune People's Committee for management in 2017, belonging to plots 1 and 2, is mostly compacted rock and has a steep slope, so it cannot be used for production.

*For the land area recovered by the People's Committee and handed over to the people of Tam Hop commune in Decision No. 302/QD-UBND dated May 16, 2017 of the People's Committee of Nghe An province, including the entire plot 1, sub-area 682 with an area of ​​1,152,087.5 m²According to the report of Tuong Duong Forestry One Member Limited Liability Company: Most of the land area is beautiful, can be used for production about 95%, rocky land only accounts for about 4-5%.

The slope is not large, very suitable for production; The area returned to the locality has not been fully used for production.

Thus, the voters reflected the area of ​​1,152,087.5 m²The land recovered by the Provincial People's Committee and handed over to the Commune People's Committee for management in 2017 is mostly compacted rock and has a large slope, so it cannot be used for production, which is unfounded.

*For the area in plot 3, sub-area 682, according to statistics on the current status of forest changes in 2021, the area is 137.8 hectares, of which: Rich natural forest area (TXG) is 56.65 hectares (accounting for 41.11%); The rest is poor natural forest, bamboo forest, mixed forest is 81.15 hectares, accounting for 58.89%.

Thus, the land area in plot 3, sub-area 682 is mainly land with natural forest, suitable for the purpose of forest protection and conservation to protect the ecological environment, protect water resources, prevent soil erosion...

Therefore, it is not possible to hand over this area of ​​land with natural forest for people to produce according to the voters' recommendation.
