Decision No. 33/2024/QD-UBND, issued by the People's Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province on 10 October 2024 and signed by Vice-Chairman Nguyen Cong Vinh on behalf of the Chairman, promulgates the Regulation on unit prices for compensation for damage to crops and livestock when the State recovers land in the province. It takes effect from 22 October 2024 and replaces Decision No. 18/2020/QD-UBND on compensation for aquaculture livestock and Decision No. 02/2024/QD-UBND on 2024 crop compensation prices. Legal bases include the 2024 Land Law, Decree No. 88/2024/ND-CP on compensation, support and resettlement upon State land recovery, and Circular No. 20/2023/TT-BNNPTNT on forest valuation. The Regulation applies to land-administration agencies, compensation and resettlement organizations, land users and lawful owners of crops and livestock on recovered land. Principles: non-compensable cases follow Clauses 1 and 2 of Article 105 of the 2024 Land Law; unharvested but movable crops are compensated for relocation costs and actual losses; valuable ancient or elaborate ornamental trees and especially rare forestry trees are valued case-by-case, possibly via consultants; immovable livestock is compensated at actual loss; unlisted species are benchmarked against equivalent groups or surveyed at market price, all subject to district-level approval. Compensation schedules comprise five appendices: Appendix I for annual crops (e.g., rice 5,700 VND/m2, chili 45,700 VND/m2, sweet-potato-type root crops 37,600 VND/m2, banana in fruit 160,000 VND/plant); Appendix II for perennial crops priced by age and, in the harvest period, by output (e.g., durian from 215,800 VND for a newly planted tree to 1,327,900 VND at five years, then 40,000–74,000 VND/kg by variety; coffee 114,200 VND/kg of dry beans; pepper 122,000 VND/kg; mangosteen up to 1,943,600 VND for an eight-year tree and 50,000 VND/kg); Appendix III for flowers and ornamental plants planted in the ground (e.g., yellow apricot trees up to 2,500,000 VND for trunk diameter of 10 cm or more, hedges 120,000 VND/m2, Mokara orchids 600,000 VND/m2); Appendix IV for self-invested forestry trees, divided into fast-growing and slow-growing groups by diameter class during establishment and, for harvest-stage trees (diameter over 10 cm), by timber group I–VIII (up to 18,200,690 VND/tree for group I above 40 cm); forest planted with State funds is instead inventoried and valued under Circular No. 20/2023/TT-BNNPTNT; and Appendix V for aquaculture (e.g., intensive whiteleg shrimp 1,585,000 thousand VND/ha per 3-month crop, high-tech shrimp 4,800,000 thousand VND/ha, cobia cage culture 1,900 thousand VND/m3), with the formula M = S (or V) x unit price x actual rearing time / standard crop duration. In Con Dao island district, prices are multiplied by 1.8 (except sam dat). Transitional rules keep approved pre-2024-Land-Law plans unchanged; district committees handle abnormal planting practices and propose price adjustments when market prices fluctuate.
