Summary

Decision No. 38/2024/QD-UBND of the People's Committee of Kien Giang Province prescribes unit prices for compensation of crops and livestock and relocation-support levels for each type of livestock when the State recovers land in the province. It was issued pursuant to the Land Law of 18 January 2024, Decree No. 88/2024/ND-CP of 15 July 2024 on compensation, support and resettlement upon land recovery and Circular No. 45/2024/TT-BTC of 1 July 2024 of the Ministry of Finance, at the proposal of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Submission No. 696/TTr-SNNPTNT of 6 December 2024. It takes effect from 25 December 2024 and replaces Decision No. 750/QD-UBND of 2 April 2024. It applies to land-administration agencies, compensation and resettlement organisations, land users under Article 4 of Land Law No. 31/2024/QH15 and related parties. Compensation follows Article 103 of the Land Law; investors wishing to keep trees negotiate additional support. Forest-tree counting may use 2-5 percent sampling, with maximum compensable densities of 15,000 trees per hectare for stands of two years or older and 20,000 for younger stands; high-density fruit plantings are capped at 10 trees per square metre. No compensation is paid for crops or livestock created unlawfully or after the recovery notice; potted plants, nursery stock and movable livestock receive only relocation and damage costs capped at 30 percent of the prescribed compensation price; annual crops or livestock already at harvest, or harvestable where the project is not urgent, are not compensated. Fruit trees are graded A to D by age and productivity (papaya, banana, passion fruit, gac, sim and Jamaica cherry in three grades): class-A rates per tree include durian 2,222,000 dong, star apple 1,881,000, mango 1,835,000, mangosteen 1,539,000, longan 1,300,000, coconut and palmyra 1,091,000, pepper and dragon fruit 920,000, down to banana-group trees at 64,000. Timber trees fall into six sub-groups: large-timber, fast-growing and miscellaneous species graded A to E by diameter (large timber class A above 35 cm at 750,000 dong); individually planted acacia, eucalyptus, melaleuca and mangrove (class A above 20 cm at 60,000-115,000 dong); concentrated plantations of at least 3,000 square metres and 666 trees per hectare priced at 5,000-25,000 dong per tree; bamboo by clump size (up to 380,000 dong) and nipa palm at 25,000 dong per square metre. Ground-planted ornamentals are graded A to E by diameter from 650,000 down to 50,000 dong per tree. Annual crops are graded A to C per square metre, for example pineapple 20,000/16,000/13,000 dong and rice 5,000/4,000/3,000. Aquaculture under intensive farming is compensated per square metre, for example softshell turtle and snakes 60,000 dong, white-leg shrimp 59,000, grouper 50,000-60,000, black tiger and giant freshwater prawn 36,000; extensive farming receives 40 percent of intensive rates. Movable livestock receive relocation support of 30 percent of the compensation price. Unlisted species are priced by equivalent group, and a market fluctuation of 20 percent or more triggers provincial adjustment; previously approved plans continue unchanged.
