Sept 15 — Henan Department of Natural Resources issued a draft notice seeking
comments requiring rural construction projects to prioritize stock over new
supply, recycling idle homesteads, vacant rural housing, abandoned factories,
village offices and low‑efficiency vacant land. Annual land‑use plans should
tilt toward rural projects, with no less than 5% of new plan quotas in principle
reserved for key rural industry projects. The province will centrally allocate
10,000 mu (≈667 ha) of plan quota exclusively for rural revitalization land;
projects on the provincial major construction list will receive immediate full
allocation upon reporting. Land‑use plan support will be increased for national
rural revitalization demonstration counties, provincial key assistance counties
and key monitoring counties to consolidate poverty‑alleviation gains.
