People's Committee of Tây Ninh Province
A largely flat province in the Southeast on the Cambodian border, dominated by Bà Đen mountain and the Mộc Bài trade gate; population about 1.2 million (2024). Its economy combines rubber, cassava and fruit, industrial parks, border trade and Cao Đài religious tourism. In the 2025 merger it expanded by absorbing the former Long An province.
Decision No. 44/2024/QD-UBND of the People's Committee of Tây Ninh Province, dated 15 October 2024 and effective from 25 October 2024, issues unit prices for compensating damage to crops and livestock upon state land recovery, together with specific compensation levels for aquaculture animals or other non-movable livestock. It is grounded in the 2024 Land Law (and amending Law No. 31/2024/QH15), the 2017 Fisheries Law, the 2018 Animal Husbandry and Crop Production Laws, the 2023 Price Law, Decree No. 85/2024/ND-CP, and Circulars No. 23/2019 and 18/2023 of the Ministry of Agriculture. Chapter I defines scope, applicable subjects (land-management agencies, compensation bodies, land users, and owners of crops/livestock under Articles 4 and 103 of the Land Law) and key terms (main/secondary crops, annual/perennial crops, shade-loving plants, livestock, aquaculture animals). Chapter II governs crop and aquaculture compensation: eligible crops must be normally developing and lawfully cultivated; forestry trees are compensated at present garden value, with state-budget-planted or natural forest excluded from the schedule (valued per forest appraisal). Specialized-crop compensation follows the appended price schedule subject to density limits; intercropped annuals, intercropped fruit trees (secondary crops at 70%, capped at 50% of density), nursery seedlings (relocation cost only), and net/greenhouse crops (plus depreciated structure value over 10 years) have specific rules; melons are not compensated. Livestock unit prices are set by market survey and appraisal. Chapter III sets compensation for non-movable aquaculture or other livestock based on early-harvest loss: tiered percentages by culture cycle (e.g., 12-month cycle 30-50%, 9-month and 6-month cycles scaled), full relocation-cost compensation (capped at 30% for transport damage within 15 days), and a three-times-difference formula for non-movable other livestock. Chapter IV bars compensation for items established after the recovery notice, for self-grown perennials under 1 cm diameter, and for potted plants (relocation support only). Chapter V assigns the Departments of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment, and Finance to monitor prices and propose adjustments, with district chairpersons directing compensation. It replaces Decisions No. 02/2020 and 02/2023. The appendix details per-square-metre and per-tree compensation rates for annual crops (rice, maize, vegetables, asparagus, tobacco, sugarcane), perennials (cashew, pepper, rubber by age/density), and fruit trees (durian, mangosteen, mango, rambutan, jackfruit, longan, citrus, etc.) graduated by age.
