Land consolidation as a strategy to enhance the efficiency of rice production cooperatives in the Red River Delta

Land consolidation enhances agricultural productivity while creating favorable conditions for crop diversification, mechanization, technology adoption, and the organization of product consumption along the value chain. In recent years, this process has emerged as a notable development trend among agricultural cooperatives engaged in rice production across the Red River Delta. This study examines the current state of land consolidation for rice cultivation in selected representative localities within the region, analyzes the prevailing forms of land consolidation implemented by cooperatives and the key factors influencing their adoption, and discusses strategic approaches to further advance land consolidation for cooperative-based rice production in the Red River Delta.
