Land-tenure reforms that enable a peaceful transition from a centrally planned economy to a market economy will never achieve their objectives if they are not interlinked with other components such as reforming agricultural product markets, the factor input supply, and complementary rural factor markets, including labor and credit.
Within the land-tenure reform package, generating stronger economic incentives for rural producers is critical, as is illustrated in Vietnam’s household responsibility model based on the decollectivization of cooperatives, the distribution of land-use rights, and market liberalization.
