According to the decision, 80 administrative procedures have been standardized across different management levels: 28 procedures in the field of crop production and 31 procedures in the field of plant protection at the central level; 11 procedures in the field of crop production and 7 procedures in the field of plant protection at the provincial level; 2 procedures at the district level; and 1 procedure at the commune level.

This is an important step in simplifying administrative procedures, creating favorable conditions for people and businesses, and at the same time improving the efficiency of state management in the agricultural sector.

This decision replaces a series of previous decisions, including Decision No. 419/QD-BNN-TT (February 2, 2015), Decision No. 4307/QD-BNN-BVTV (October 24, 2016), Decision No. 559/QD-BNN-BVTV (February 19, 2019), Decision No. 678/QD-BNN-BVTV (February 28, 2019), Decision No. 4756/QD-BNN-BVTV (December 12, 2019), Decision No. 151/QD-BNN-TT (January 9, 2020), and many other decisions from 2021 to 2024 related to amending, supplementing, or abolishing administrative procedures in the field of crop cultivation and plant protection. This standardization aims to ensure consistency, transparency, and compliance with current legal regulations.

The announcement of 80 standardized administrative procedures is part of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment 's administrative reform efforts, aimed at creating a favorable environment for people and businesses operating in the fields of crop cultivation and plant protection.

According to Mr. Huynh Tan Dat, Director of the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection, this standardization not only simplifies the process and reduces intermediate steps, but also enhances the transparency and accountability of state management agencies.

In the context of Vietnam's agricultural sector facing numerous challenges such as climate change, pests and diseases, and increasing demands for food safety, standardized administrative procedures will help people and businesses quickly access public services, from licensing the use of plant varieties and plant quarantine to registering pesticides. This also supports localities in implementing sustainable agricultural development policies, such as the project to cultivate 1 million hectares of high-quality, low-emission rice in the Mekong Delta.

Standardizing 80 administrative procedures not only reduces the administrative burden but also creates conditions for the sustainable development of the agricultural sector. For the crop production sector, procedures related to plant variety licensing, quality inspection, and growing area management will help ensure high-quality seed sources, meeting production and export needs.

In the field of plant protection, procedures for registration, inspection, and use of pesticides will contribute to minimizing negative impacts on the environment while ensuring food safety for consumers. Furthermore, this standardization will support businesses and cooperatives in accessing international markets.

To further enhance the effectiveness of standardized administrative procedures, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has determined that it will continue to promote the application of digital technology in management. The development of an online public service portal, allowing citizens and businesses to carry out procedures online, will help save time and costs. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen communication and guidance to ensure that people understand the new procedures and avoid confusion during implementation.

Furthermore, the Ministry is also striving to coordinate closely with localities to ensure that procedures are applied uniformly nationwide. Organizing workshops and training courses for officials and citizens will help raise awareness and improve the capacity to implement administrative procedures, thereby optimizing management efficiency in the fields of crop production and plant protection.
