The long term development of Vietnamese agriculture depends on the efficient and effective use of land. In Vietnam, farmlands operated formerly by communes were redistributed among their members in the 1980s under Doimoi Policy Land and related policies have direct effects on the livelihood of rural populations through influences on land tenure,farm size, fragmentation of landholdings, land use, and land credit markets.The average farm size in Red River Delta ranges from 0.2 ha to 0.3 ha per household and the plots of cultivated land are scattered over an average of 6 places. For the near future, food crops and rice are still the dominant crops but changes in land use are undoubtedly occurring. Low profitability cash crops have been abandoned in favor of crops offering higher returns such as horticultural crops. This paper aims to clarify the current land tenure systems, including the pattern of land holding and the existing tenancy contracts of the farm households, and to investigate the recent changes in land use systems for agricultural production. Data were collected by a questionnaire survey conducted in February 2008 in Da Ton Commune, Gia Lam District, Hanoi. It was found that about 75% of households had farm land area of under 0.36 ha, and the total number of land plots of the 35 households investigated was 204, of which 70% were smaller than 0.09 ha in size. This commune experienced drastic changes in land use patterns and recently there emerged tenancy contracts. More than 70% of contracts were for fruit land. It was considered that tenancy contracts were influenced not only by economic factors but also by social factors.
