In the process of implementing the two-tier local government model in the fields of agriculture and environment, several challenges and obstacles have been encountered in Dong Nai province.

Specifically, in the land sector, challenges arise in implementing land price assessments, compensation, and resettlement support. In the field of environmental protection, difficulties are encountered in processes such as environmental licensing inspections, trial operation of environmental protection works, enforcement of administrative penalties for violations, environmental registration, and the updating of registration data into the national environmental database and information system. Commune- and ward-level People's Committees are also facing various obstacles that require guidance and resolution.

The conference aimed to implement legal documents in the fields of agriculture and environment regarding decentralization and delegation of authority under the two-tier local government model.

It also served as an opportunity for localities to exchange and discuss issues related to land, agriculture, and the environment. Through the training, commune-level officials, civil servants, and public employees were instructed and guided in professional skills and techniques for performing tasks related to agriculture and the environment in their localities.
