The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has announced a decision to cut 122 administrative procedures, equivalent to nearly one quarter of the procedures under its jurisdiction.
The move came following a government direction on reducing and simplifying administrative procedures to support businesses and improve the business environment.
Under the MARD’s decision, 71 central-level procedures were abolished while the number of scrapped procedures at the provincial and district levels are 31 and 20, respectively.
The forestry sector saw the most drastic cut with 98 out of 134 procedures axed, followed by 21 procedures in the fishery sector.
The MARD stated that it will continue to review the current procedures and make further simplification in the future in order to facilitate enterprises operating in agriculture and rural development.
The agriculture ministry’s move is the latest step in a wider government effort to enhance the business environment in Vietnam, with several ministries having made substantial cuts to their regulations.
