On August 1, 2024, the Land Law officially took effect. To complete the draft Decree detailing rice land, the Government just had a meeting to get opinions from localities to complete the project.

From reality, leaders of ministries, branches and localities have commented on criteria for determining rice growing areas that need strict protection and limited conversion; regulations on restructuring crops and livestock on rice land; policies to support the protection and development of rice land; decentralization of authority in rice land management; Determining areas of strictly protected rice growing land in localities, etc.

Our country's agricultural economy still depends heavily on weather, climate, and markets and has not really brought efficiency and benefits as quickly as other industries and fields. Therefore, the supplement provides specific criteria to identify high-yield, high-quality rice growing areas that need to be protected and limited conversion.
