A representative from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Bac Giang informed that to date, more than 14,000 ha of farming land has been exchanged in the province and the figure will be nearly 17,000 ha by the end of this year.

After the land exchange, the average number of land plots per household decreased significantly from 3-14 plots to 1.8-3 plots. Experience shows that in order to make the reallocation of agricultural land successful, there must be a drastic engagement of the whole political system. It is necessary to strongly promote the role and creativity of the Party committees with village leaders as the pioneers.
