Summary
Decision No. 07/2021/QĐ-UBND of the People's Committee of Vĩnh Long Province, dated 30 March 2021, promulgates the Regulation on compensation for crops and trees when the State recovers land in the province, pursuant to clause 1, Article 90 of the 2013 Law on Land and at the proposal of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Submission No. 31/TTr.SNN&PTNT of 19 March 2021. It is in force from 9 April 2021 to 31 December 2021 and replaces Decisions No. 23/2019/QĐ-UBND and No. 26/2020/QĐ-UBND. It applies to land-administration agencies, compensation and site-clearance organisations, land users under Article 5 of the Law on Land, and other related parties. For annual crops, plants existing before the recovery notice and not yet harvestable are compensated at the output value of the harvest, based on the highest yield in the three preceding years (per district statistics office data) and the average price at recovery; crops deliberately sown after the recovery notice are not compensated. For perennial trees, compensation equals the orchard's existing value at local prices, excluding land-use-right value, computed as tree count multiplied by the unit price for the same species, growth stage and size. Fruit-tree unit prices are set in four groups by growth stage (A basic construction, B unstable fruiting, C stable fruiting, D ageing): Group 1 (e.g. orange 50,000/280,000/400,000/120,000 đồng per tree; mandarin up to 460,000; dragon fruit 230,000 per post at stage C); Group 2 (coconut up to 900,000; mango and avocado 1,000,000; star apple 1,200,000; pomelo 800,000); Group 3 (durian up to 2,000,000; thanh trà 1,000,000; rambutan 600,000); Group 4 (mangosteen up to 1,500,000; bòn bon 750,000). Maximum densities per 1,000 square metres range from 25 trees (durian, mangosteen, coconut, mango) to 270 (banana, papaya, pepper). For mono-crop orchards, trees within density plus an excess under 30 percent receive full unit price; excess of 30 to under 50 percent receives 80 percent; 50 to under 80 percent receives 70 percent; 80 percent or more is paid only at seedling value. Specialty orchards such as Năm Roi pomelo and Ri 6 durian at stable fruiting stage receive 1.8 times the unit price. Intercropped orchards apply full prices to the main and one secondary crop; third and subsequent species receive 50 percent, with no payment for density excess. Untended mixed gardens receive 70 percent of unit price by actual count. Timber and other non-fruit perennials are priced by height (bamboo 10,000–30,000 đồng per culm; nipa 5,000–7,000 per square metre) or trunk diameter (sao and dầu up to 600,000 đồng per tree above 60 centimetres). Movable nurseries and ornamentals receive relocation costs and actual losses. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development surveys prices quarterly and proposes adjustments where prices rise 20 percent or more. Projects already approved or being paid before effectiveness follow their approved plans.
