On the Government Portal, citizens asked: Record of contracted land allocation from 1995, road surface land suitable for residential land conversion, surrounded by houses, currently planting perennial crops.
Ms. V.T.L (Hung Yen) asked, is the above case eligible for the first-time certificate to become rice land or perennial crop land?
Is the collective's pond contract minutes of 1997 with a term of 50 years considered a valid document for first-time issuance? Land use is stable and there is no dispute.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment answers this question as follows:
