The economics of land fragmentation in the north of Vietnam

The aim of the paper is to investigate the current situation of land fragmentation in the North of Vietnam, its effects and relationship to crop productivity. Comparative static analysis approaches are proposed to examine the relationship between land fragmentation and farm size, agricultural production ability, off-farm jobs, and the amount of land rented in and out. The role of land fragmentation in spreading output risk is also considered. In order to work toward these objectives, the specific issues to be examined are: (1) what is the level of land fragmentation in the North of Vietnam: (2) whether land fragmentation does or does not have an effect on crop productivity: (3) whether land fragmentation does or does not reduce output risks of crop production: and (4) which policies are needed to facilitate land consolidation in the future.
