Land Utilization and Agricultural Development in Viet Nam
Viet Nam is an agricultural economy with more than 86 million people (2008),living an area of 32.924 million ha,in Southeast Asia.By 2008,the national gross income was 1,144,015 billion VN dong.National economic sectors are contributed by 20.3% of agro-forestry and aquaculture,by 41.6% of industry and by 36.1% of services.Agricultural production is playing an important role in the national economic development and food security.From imported rice,Viet Nam imported rice in early 1980s year and become the second exported rice economy,after Thailand.Food production has a great progress with production of 6.1 million tons in 1955,and increased up to 14.4 M.tons in 1980 and 43.3 M.tons in 2008.Thanking to the changing in policies and land law after years 1980 to gain these fruitfulness.From the self consumption and self-supply economic system,since 1980,Viet Namese Government changed new policy and strategies to develop national economic.New rethinking policy was issued to give up the self consumption and self supply economic and access into Marketing economic rule.The land resources are exploited for agriculture by 9.42 M.ha (28.5%),for 14.8M.ha of forestry in 2008.Food production is most priority,so that rice lands increased from 7.3M.ha in 1995 t0 8.4 M.ha in 2008.However,agricultural lands,particularity,rice culting lands are getting big problem.Due to industrialization,urbanization and construction,agricultural lands are moving to non agricultural lands.From 01/7/2004 to nowadays,750,000 ha were withdrew to set up more 29,000 non agriculture projects,80% of which was agricultural lands.Up to 1 January,2008,4.1 million ha of paddy lands is remained.Period of 2000-2007,paddy field was reduced by 361,935 ha.Main reasons to reduce the agricultural lands are industrialization,urbanization,sport (golf),infrastructure building_ In addition,the climate change (as drought,degraded lands,...) causes a large cultivating lands become waste land.These factors are hard challenge to save 4 million ha of rice lands as planned to get 31 million tons of rice by year 2010 for meeting the national food security and economic development.
