Furthermore, based on a review of the current land use status, the province will consider allocating areas of non-forested land interspersed within forested land areas of some households that have been allocated forest land, along with the allocation of forestry land.
To complete the plan for forest allocation associated with the allocation of forestry land to people in 2019, the Forest Protection Department is currently advising the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to organize inspections and supervision; at the same time, it is organizing working groups to go to key districts to resolve difficulties and obstacles that arise.
