(HBO) – Hoa Binh province is working to facilitate businesses’ access to land that is one of the 10 sub-indexes to measure the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) – the rankings on which Hoa Binh fell six places from 2015 to the 52nd position among the country’s 63 provinces and cities in 2016.


The land registration office of Hoa Binh was put into operation, ensuring the consistency in land management among localities and providing land-related information for the public.

The province’s land access sub-index always stood at low level, ranking 42nd, 15th, 30th and 51st from 2011 to 2015 respectively. It was at the 41st position in 2016, up 11 places from 2015.

While 25 percent of businesses with land use demand nationwide worry about cumbersome procedures, this rate is 43 percent in Hoa Binh. Within two years, 64 percent of local firms encountered difficulties in making land procedures. Up to 44 percent of companies have not had land use right certificates due to red tape or fear of obstacles created by public employees.


According to a survey conducted by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), local businesses find it relatively difficult to get access to land and production ground. They are facing a number of hindrances to land access and expansion of production and business ground. There remain many shortcomings in compensation and site clearance mechanisms.


To address those weaknesses and facilitate land access, the provincial People’s Committee issued in 2017 a plan on improving the business environment and competitiveness of Hoa Binh with a vision until 2020. It assigned the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment to coordinate with other agencies, sectors and local district-level administrations to step up administrative reforms. They have been implementing concrete solutions such as overhauling land-related administrative procedures, especially formalities for granting land use right certificates, and facilitating enterprises’ access to land and planning information.


The implementation of the business climate improvement plan at the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment show that criteria in the land access sub-index has been improved.


The department publicized the province’s resolution on land use planning until 2020, land use plans and planning until 2020 of district-level localities, and administrative procedures relevant to natural resources and the environment.


It has also worked with district-level People’s Committees to examine and assess the land management and use at projects so as to propose the settlement of violations and poor-performing projects./.
