dc.description.abstract "Efficient use of land is a firm basic to increase agricultural productivity and to promote agricultural commercialization. One of the most efficient ways is to put land under the management of farm family. In Vietnam, since 1988 the dismantle of cooperative system and then the reallocation of land to peasant households have greatly increased land productivity. However, there are controversies about land structure and farm size. On the one hand, agricultural commercialization is considered a way to develop agricultural sector, and to improve living standards of peasant households. This process needs land accumulation and labor specialization among peasant households. In contrast, government policies tend to impose an equal distribution of land among peasant households as socialist ideology still pre-empts land accumulation and class differentiation within peasant societies. In addition, some may grasp the argument that there is an inverse relation between farm size and productivity, hence the existing distribution of land have contributed to both two objectives: efficiency and equity. "The paper tries to put some thought into the above debate through the investigation of Namdinh province, which carries typical character of the Red River Delta in Vietnam. It is expected to clarify the relations between land accumulation and income inequality, between farm size and agricultural productivity during the process of agricultural commercialization in Vietnam." en_US
