• This area is very diverse in terms of
  ecological characteristics, therefore it can be
  considered an advantage for planting various
  plants. In recent years, especially after the
  implementation of the land law (1992) and decree
  02/CP (1994) under which forestlands were
  allocated to individual households, there has
  been a explicitly positive change in agricultural
  production in the area. People invest more input
  in their land by planting cash crop such as
  cinnamon and timber trees. Large area of land is
  an advantage for livestock production.

• Owing to the lack of input for agricultural
  production, crops gain low yield. While paddy
  yield on average of the country is 4.1 tons/ha,
  that of the North East and North West are 3.7 ton
  and 2.8 tons accordingly, much lower than that of
  the Red River Delta 5.5 tons/ha.
