On July 11, reports from Son La province revealed that prior to a comprehensive review, the province housed 11 state-owned agroforestry farms, including 4 agricultural farms and 7 forestry farms with a total area of approximately 42,300 hectares.

During the land use process, local residents and workers constructed housing and established crop production land within the farms' boundaries. Notably, several households received land for residential and production purposes from the directors of these agroforestry farms.

Following their restructuring, the number of agroforestry farms in Son La province has reduced to 8. Additionally, there are five other local organizations that utilize land originating from these farms. The total land area reallocated from the agroforestry farms in Son La province amounted to approximately 35,900 hectares. Among this area, the total land area retained for continued use by agroforestry companies and other organizations amounts to 17,460 hectares after review and reorganization. On the other hand, approximately 18,440 hectares have been reallocated to local management.

According to Nguyen Thanh Cong, Vice Chairman of the Son La Provincial People's Committee, the committee has instructed relevant local departments and agencies to enhance the dissemination and education of land laws. They are also responsible for conducting legal compliance inspections regarding land originating from agroforestry farms that are scheduled for relocation to local management; thereby promoting lawful and effective land use, preventing land abandonment, disputes, encroachments, and legal violations.

Regarding the Board of Liquidation, the Working Group assisting the Liquidation Council of the State-owned One Member Limited Liability Forestry Companies in Muong La, Song Ma, and Moc Chau will continue to actively lead and coordinate the implementation of the liquidation process. They will promptly develop and finalize financial plans, strategies for the handling of economic contracts and assets; conduct a thorough review of tax debts, tax inspections, and settlements of the three forestry companies scheduled for liquidation; prose measures to address the companies' debts; and so on.
