1. What is farmland?

Although there is no regulation on farmland, it can be understood that farmland is the common name for land allocated by the State to people to use for the purpose of growing rice or annual agricultural crops.

Specifically in Clause 1, Article 10 Land Law 2013, the agricultural land group includes the following types of land:

- Land for growing annual crops includes land for growing rice and land for growing other annual crops;

- Land for growing perennial crops;

- Production forest land;

- Protective forest land;

- Special-use forest land;

- Aquaculture land;

- Soil for salt production;

- Other agricultural land includes land used to build greenhouses and other types of houses for farming purposes, including forms of farming not directly on land; building barns for raising cattle, poultry and other animals as permitted by law; land for cultivation, animal husbandry, and aquaculture for study, research, and experimental purposes; land to nurse seedlings and animals and land to grow flowers and ornamental plants.

So, field land belongs to the agricultural land group and is land for growing annual crops.

2. How to calculate the area of ​​farmland

Based on the shape of each piece of land, we can apply the formula to calculate the area of ​​field land as follows:

- How to calculate the area of ​​rectangular field land

Area = Length x Width.

For example: Your field is rectangular, with a length of 9m and a width of 5m. Accordingly, the field area is 9 × 5 = 45m2.

- How to calculate square field area

Area = Side measurement x Side measurement

For example: Your field is square, with side measurements of 10m, then the area of ​​the field is calculated as follows: 10 x 10 = 100m2.

- How to calculate the area of ​​triangular field land

Area = (Length x Width)/2

For example: The field is triangular, with a length of 20m and a width of 4m. Accordingly, the area will be: (20 x 4)/2 = 40m2

- How to calculate the area of ​​trapezoidal field land

Area = [(Length + Width): 2] x Height

For example: Your field is 24m long, 6m wide, and 10m high. So, the area will be: [(24+6): 2] x 10= 150m2.

- How to calculate the area of ​​distorted field land

If the field land is distorted, not square, rectangular, or triangular, etc., then divide that land into many rectangular, square, parallelogram, or triangle pieces. Then apply the most accurate way to calculate the area of ​​farmland.

3. Cases of farm land being issued red books

The State grants Certificates of land use rights, ownership of houses and other assets attached to land for the following cases:
