Doi moi is the name given to the economic reforms initiated by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the mid-1980s. As a result of doi moi many free-market enterprises were permitted (and, indeed, later encouraged) by the Communist Party of Vietnam; furthermore, the push to collectivize the industrial and agricultural operations of Vietnam, previously the focus of intense efforts by the Communist authorities, was essentially abandoned.

Collective farming is an organizational unit in agriculture in which peasants are not paid wages, but rather receive a share of the farms net output. ...
Although not simultaneously accompanied by an articulated policy of increased social or political liberty (such as political glasnost accompanied economic perestroika in the Soviet Union), the Communist government has nonetheless tacitly permitted many personal freedoms much greater than in the past (apart from taboo issues such as criticism of the Communist regime) since the beginning of the doi moi era.

In 1986, it was concluded by a new group of more liberal socialist party leaders that reforms which consisted of six major economic policy changes (DoiMoi) could help Vietnam come out of its economic crisis.
However, there are many negative aspects to DoiMoi as well, like higher taxes, and the extra cost it takes for the farmer to get his product to the market.
This particular problem has developed as a result of some privatizing of rice farming caused by DoiMoi.
The main policies of DoiMoi were on decollectivization of agriculture, trade liberalization especially opening up the country for foreign direct investment, and marketization of state-owned enterprises.
The success of DoiMoi alone merits critical studies, especially under the conditions with which it was carried out.
As noted, DoiMoi was supposedly to be a comprehensive transformation; thus far, the only area with greatest achievements has been the economy.
