Summary
Decision No. 10/2020/QD-UBND, issued on 13 April 2020 by the People's Committee of Dak Lak Province and effective from 23 April 2020, prescribes unit prices for compensation and support for crops within Dak Lak Province, replacing Decision No. 14/2017/QD-UBND of 23 March 2017. It sets unit prices for six crop groups — perennial industrial crops, fruit trees, other industrial crops, annual crops, ornamental plants, green trees and flowers, and forestry trees — together with criteria for grading crop quality (grades A, B, C). It applies when compensation and support plans are prepared for State land recovery under the Land Law; when crops are damaged by construction of national defence, security or socio-economic works in the national or public interest without land recovery; and to management of crop trading and related fees and charges. Covered subjects are State land-administration agencies; organizations performing compensation, site clearance and resettlement; land users; and other related organizations and individuals. Key principles: crops planted after the land-recovery notice are not compensated; movable plants receive appraised cost estimates for relocation, temporary placement and replanting; after receiving payment, holders may salvage crops provided they commit to hand over the site on schedule; planted forest funded by the State budget is compensated at actual damage value, while forest planted by households on allocated bare land is compensated at the local price of felled timber at the forest gate; crops absent from the price list are valued by analogy with an equivalent species or by an appraised cost estimate. Specific rules address mixed planting: the main crop (highest compensation value) receives 100% and intercrops 80% of the listed price; for pepper, betel and dragon fruit grown on posts, living posts receive 80% support, while concrete, wooden or brick posts surveyed at market price receive up to 60% if removable and reusable or 100% if not; trees exceeding the prescribed planting density by up to 50% receive 60% of the unit price, those exceeding it by 50–100% receive 30%, and those over 100% receive nothing; crops damaged by works without land recovery receive 100% if irrecoverable and up to 80% if recoverable. Compensation plans approved before the effective date remain valid; plans not yet approved must be recalculated under the new prices. Seven appendices list detailed prices, for example: Robusta coffee (1,100 trees/ha) up to 319,600 VND per grade-A tree in business years 6–25; rubber up to 379,300 VND/tree; pepper on living posts 618,500 VND/post from business year 3; grafted durian up to 7,190,000 VND/tree; rare Trac timber 35,000,000 VND/m3; plus grading criteria such as grade-A coffee yielding over 3 tonnes of dry beans per hectare. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development leads implementation.
