Resolution on land consolidation and plot exchange brings into practice in Nghi Loc

(Baonghean.vn) - One of the successful breakthroughs of Nghi Loc district is the completion of land consolidation, overcoming the fragmentation situation, creating large plots of land to develop agricultural production in the direction of goods.

By the end of 2013, each household in the commune only had 1.4 rice plots; the commune built 150 hectares of large-scale model fields with high-quality commercial rice varieties such as RVT, Thien Uu 8, T10, Bac Thom, bringing in an income of over 70 million VND/ha/year.

Mr. Tran Van Binh - Vice Chairman of Nghi Lam Commune People's Committee said: "To do a good job of land consolidation and plot exchange, officials at all levels in the commune directly dialogue with the people so that they can see the benefits of land consolidation and plot exchange; discuss with the people how to divide to ensure fairness and objectivity; continue to dialogue and propose solutions to resolve any remaining issues or disagreements."

In Nghi Kieu, with the characteristics of a mountainous commune, there is a lot of hillside land area to develop farm and family economy. In the process of land conversion, the Party Committee, the commune and hamlet authorities mobilize households in need to convert agricultural land to ineffective cultivated land to build farms at a rate of 10 times.
