Inefficient agri projects halted
KIEN GIANG – The Mekong Delta Kien Giang Province People's Commitee has put a stop to 13 agricultural projects due to poor operation.
The projects, covering a total area of nearly 3,000 ha, received approval to develop the farm economy and aquaculture in the Hon Dat, Kien Luong and Ha Tien townships during 2004-07.
Only 10 out of the 13 ventures managed to obtain land right certification while 4 subleased over 143,000 ha for personal benefit.
Most failed to establish effective operations, build infrastructure or cultivate land.
To date, the committee has returned around 360ha of revoked land to authorities in Hon Dat and Kien Luong. – VNS
