This book is a case study of Vietnam's efforts to fight poverty using market-oriented land reforms. In the 1980s and 1990s, the country undertook major institutional reforms, and an impressive reduction in poverty followed. But what role did the reforms play? Did the efficiency gains from reform come at a cost to equity? Were there both winners and losers? Was rising rural landlessness in the wake of reforms a sign of success or failure? 'Land in Transition' investigates the impacts on living standards of the two stages of land law reform: in 1988, when land was allocated to households administratively and output markets were liberalized; and in 1993, when official land titles were introduced and land transactions were permitted for the first time since communist rule began. To fully assess the poverty impacts of these changes, the authors' analysis of household surveys is guided by both economic theory and knowledge of the historical and social contexts. The book delineates lessons from Vietnam's experience and their implications for current policy debates in China and elsewhere.

Abstract: While liberalizing key factor markets is a crucial step in the transition from a socialist control-economy to a market economy, the process can be stalled by imperfect information, high transaction costs, and covert resistance from entrenched interests. Ravallion and van de Walle study land-market adjustment in the wake of Vietnam's reforms aiming to establish a free market in land-use rights following de-collectivization. Inefficiencies in the initial administrative allocation are measured against an explicit counterfactual market solution. The authors' tests using a farm-household panel data set spanning the reforms suggest that land allocation responded positively but slowly to the inefficiencies of the administrative allocation. They find no sign that the transition favored the land rich or that it was thwarted by the continuing power over land held by local officials. This paper"a joint product of the Poverty Team and the Public Services Team, Development Research Group"is part of a larger effort in the group to understand the welfare impacts of major policy reforms.

During Vietnam's thirty years of economic growth since 1986, government policies have been central in raising rice production and export. However, the relevance of the 'rice first' policy and the place of smallholder agriculture have recently been questioned in the discussion on Vietnam's agricultural development strategy. The objective of this thesis is to contribute to designing appropriate agricultural development strategies for Vietnam, based on empirical analysis at the farm household level. The thesis begins by reviewing theories and literature on the agricultural transformation. This review assists in the development of the analytical framework and research issues for the thesis. The next chapter provides an overview of agricultural reforms and structural transformation in Vietnam since 1986. The core of the thesis is contained in the next three chapters. Chapter 4 examines the merit of crop diversification in rural Vietnam. Chapter 5 investigates the effect of nonfarm participation on household production choices. Chapter 6 studies the effect that land reforms directed towards land consolidation have on labour allocation and promoting the economic diversity of farm households. The final chapter discusses policy implications. The findings indicate that economies of scale are evident in Vietnam's multiple crop production. Output complementarity is found to exist between rice and other annual crops. Also, substantial technical inefficiency exists in diversified farms. Enhancing education, particularly for women, and further land reforms are the main technical efficiency shifters. Results also show that in a multiple crop environment, households with smallholder production respond to cost stress by lowering family labour use. In addition, in the short run, labour movement into non-farm activities reduces rice production in the north of Vietnam. In contrast, in the south, labour participation in nonfarm activities has induced rice farmers to maintain rice production by hiring more labour during periods of peak labour demand, and by investing in more capital to facilitate less labour-intensive farming. While agriculture in the north is losing its comparative advantage, the stability of rice production at the national level is welcome news for policy makers in that it suggests that food production can be maintained, despite the rapid structural change in rural areas. Finally, land reforms that lead to less labour-intensive farming, along with the development of credit and insurance markets in rural areas, are important in raising agricultural productivity and the promotion of economic structural transformation. In general, in light of increasing rural wages and structural change, Vietnam's agricultural transformation replicates the early East Asian experience, characterised by the dominance of smallholder agriculture. There has so far been no definitive policy resolution of the optimal structure of Vietnam's smallholder agriculture. The balance between efficiency and equity, between lowering production costs and raising prices, is a challenge for policy makers. The findings suggest policies for maintaining the comparative advantage of agriculture. The government should relax the 'rice first' policy to improve household welfare. In addition, land reforms responding to less labour-intensive farming, and the development of the nonfarm economy, should play a central role in restructuring smallholder agriculture.

Rural poverty is a phenomenon that is widespread yet often ignored by policy makers and researchers. This edited volume looks critically at rural poverty in Central Eastern Europe, Russia, the Caucasus and Central Asia, China and Vietnam in relation to land reform, farm restructuring and the development of rural markets and in the context of a large gap between rural and urban incomes and deteriorating rural social services and infrastructure. Although in most countries rural poverty has been decreasing in the past few years, economic growth in rural areas is slow, and rural incomes are not ‘catching up’ with the rapid overall growth rates of these transition economies. In general, the livelihoods of rural dwellers remain relatively poor. Next to comparative studies, the chapters in this book explore various aspects of agrarian reform, and analyze the interlocking or interlinking (land, input and output) markets that are crucial for rural development that have often remained weakly developed in transition economies, including case studies from Russia, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Vietnam and China and a wealth of detailed analysis. These chapters reflect the striking differences between transition countries in their processes of rural reform and development of rural poverty. These differences are generally dependent on the initial conditions at the eve of transition, the policies implemented, the sequencing of reforms, and the importance that was given to the sector in the overall development strategy, such as can be seen if the Asian transition economies (ATEs) are compared with many of those in Eastern Europe.
