Decision No. 23/2023/QD-UBND, issued on 5 June 2023 by the People's Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, promulgates the Regulation on compensation and support prices for crops when the State recovers land in the province for the year 2023. It was issued pursuant to the 2013 Land Law, the 2018 Law on Crop Production, the 2017 Forestry Law and Decree No. 47/2014/ND-CP, at the proposal of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Submission No. 131/TTr-SNN of 22 May 2023, and is in force from 5 June 2023 to 31 December 2023. It applies to land-management agencies, compensation organisations, land users and related parties. Compensation principles exclude crops created unlawfully or planted after the land-recovery notice; potted and nursery plants receive only relocation costs. Annual crops are compensated at the value of one harvest, using the highest yield of the three preceding years and average prices at recovery; where actual density is 50-70, 30-50 or under 30 percent of average density, compensation is 70, 50 or 30 percent of the prescribed rate. Perennial crops are compensated at the existing orchard value excluding land-use rights, graded A, B and C by age group; individually grown trees of exceptional yield may receive up to 1.5 times the class-A rate; trees exceeding maximum density receive 50, 40, 20 or 10 percent for excess of under 30, 30-50, 50-70 or 70 percent and above. Forest planted with state funds is valued under Decrees 156/2018/ND-CP and 83/2020/ND-CP, Circular 32/2018/TT-BNNPTNT and Decision 09/2021/QD-UBND. In Con Dao district rates are multiplied by 1.8 (except Con Dao ginseng). Rules are given for mixed orchards (main-crop method, shade trees allotted 60 percent of garden area). If prices fluctuate 20 percent or more, the district proposes and the Department of Agriculture submits adjustments to the Provincial People's Committee. Appendix I prices annual crops per square metre, for example rice 5,000 dong, chili 15,000, pennywort 23,000, asparagus 70,000 and Con Dao ginseng 92,000, plus per-tree rates for papaya (class A 170,000) and banana (fruiting 100,000). Appendix II prices perennial trees per tree by age and class with maximum densities: class-A rates include durian 3,322,000 dong, mango 2,486,000, pomelo 2,536,000, mangosteen and langsat 4,408,000, coconut 1,021,000 and pepper on masonry posts 847,000 per post; red-flesh dragon fruit and golden star apple carry a 1.2 multiplier, seed-grown durian 0.8. Appendix III prices flowers and ornamentals, for example yellow apricot with trunk diameter of 10 cm or more at 2,500,000 dong and Mokara orchids at 600,000 dong per square metre. Appendix IV prices self-invested forestry trees by growth group and diameter, with harvest-stage timber by groups I-VIII reaching 15,652,571 dong for group-I trees above 40 cm, plus rates for bamboo and nipa palm. Approved compensation plans predating the Regulation continue unchanged.
