DIRECTIVE No.10/1998/CT-TTg OF FEBRUARY 20, 1998 ON STEPPING UP AND COMPLETING THE ASSIGNMENT OF LAND AND GRANTING OF CERTIFICATES OF THE RIGHT TO USE AGRICULTURAL LAND While the agricultural land assignment under Decree No. 64-CP of September 27, 1993 of the Government has been so far basically completed nationwide only more than 60% of farmers' households with nearly 65% of the total agricultural land area have been granted the land use right certificates under the provisions of law. Nevertheless, the agricultural land assignment in many provinces remains prolonged and incomplete and the granting of land use right certificates to farmers' households is slow, thus failing to meet the requirements of land users and affecting the creation of a new driving force for the agricultural and rural development as well as the State management over land. In order to quickly overcome the above-mentioned problem and basically complete the assignment of land and the granting of agricultural land use right certificates in 1998, the Prime Minister requests the administration at various levels, branches, organizations, households and individuals that are assigned land by the State for agricultural purposes to immediately perform the following tasks: 1. The presidents of the People's Committees of the provinces and cities directly under the Central Government shall coordinate with the National Administration of Land, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in directing the branches and levels within the provinces to: a/ Examine and evaluate the achieved results, clearly determine the volume of work that remain to be done, clearly determine the policies, solutions and plans for organizing simultaneously the assignment of agricultural land and the granting of agricultural land use right certificates on a wide scale so as to complete this task according to the following schedule: - The provinces in the North Vietnam delta and the Mekong River delta, the plain districts of the midland provinces in North Vietnam, of northern and southern Central Vietnam and eastern South Vietnam must basically complete this task in 1998. - The mountainous provinces in North Vietnam and the Central Highlands, the mountainous districts of the midland provinces in North Vietnam, northern and southern Central Vietnam and eastern South Vietnam must basically complete this task in 1999. b/ Encourage farmers' households to swap land among themselves so as to overcome the existing state of land scatteredness and scantiness right in the process of implementing the land assignment plan under Decree No. 64-CP as well as in the process of granting agricultural land use right certificates.
