On the afternoon of September 22, the Provincial People's Committee held an online meeting to listen to progress reports and review key projects of extra-budgetary investment in the fields of agriculture and rural areas. Mr. Pham Van Thanh, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee chaired the meeting.

Leaders of the Department of Planning and Investment report on key projects of extra-budget investment in agriculture and rural areas.

According to the report of the Department of Planning and Investment of Quang Ninh, the province currently has 4 key extra-budgetary investment projects in the field of agriculture and rural areas that have been approved for investment by the Provincial People's Committee with a total capital of more than 1,831 billion VND; Five projects are undergoing procedures for approval of investment policies by the Provincial People's Committee with a total capital of nearly 3,000 billion VND. In which, for the project approved by the Provincial People's Committee, there are 3 investment projects in the field of aquatic seed production, application of high technology in farming in Dam Ha, Cam Pha City and Van Don districts; 1 high-tech concentrated cattle and poultry breeding project and a livestock and poultry feed factory in Ba Che district.

For projects that are undergoing procedures for approval of investment policies by the People's Committee, there are 2 investment projects in the livestock sector in Dong Trieu town and Hai Ha district; 2 investment projects in forest product processing in Ba Che district; 1 project of organic industrial production cluster invested in Ha Long city.

The online meeting includes bridge points of the localities in the province.

The biggest problem for these projects is that the investor's proposal does not have specific data on the current state of land use, forest land use, and the area to be changed to land use purpose or forest use purpose has not been clearly determined when implementing the Project. Investment projects in the agricultural sector are not subject to land recovery by the State in accordance with the Land Law, so investors must reach an agreement with organizations and individuals currently managing and using the land. Regarding the time to collect opinions to appraise the project investment policy, there are a number of units that have not yet been ensured…

Concluding the meeting, Mr. Pham Van Thanh, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, requesting the support for projects in general, suggested IPA grasping the progress; Department of Planning and Investment collects investment projects to advise the Provincial People's Committee; Regarding the conversion of forest land use purposes, the Departments of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Departments of Natural Resources and Environment have been assigned to closely follow the projects, support businesses in procedures for changing land use purposes, changing forest use purposes to investors with premises continue to implement investment projects.

For projects that are undergoing procedures for approval of investment policies by the People's Committee, the Department of Planning and Investment is required to specifically review and support investors to explain and complete the dossier according to the participation documents of the departments and branches, soon complete by the end of September to submit the appraisal report to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration and approval of the investment policy of the projects. Comrade Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Van Thanh emphasized that these are all key projects of great significance to the development of the agricultural sector in particular and the socio-economic development of the province in general, therefore, the removal of difficulties and obstacles for investors is a task that requires the active participation of relevant departments and branches. The projects that are implemented and put into operation synchronously will be the driving force behind the growth of the agricultural sector, making a positive contribution to the overall development of the province.
