A flat Mekong Delta province on the Cambodian border, including the Plain of Reeds wetlands; population about 1.6 million (2024).

Summary
Decision No. 117/2025/QD-UBND, issued by the People's Committee of Dong Thap Province on 19 September 2025 and signed by Chairman Nguyen Thanh Dieu, promulgates the Regulation on unit prices and compensation levels for damage to crops and livestock when the State recovers land in Dong Thap Province. It takes effect from the date of signing and repeals Decision No. 67/2024/QD-UBND of 31 October 2024 of the former Tien Giang Province and Decision No. 41/2024/QD-UBND of 17 December 2024 of Dong Thap Province (reflecting the post-merger administration). Legal bases include the 2024 Land Law (as amended), the Law on Crop Production, the Law on Fisheries and the 2025 law-making decrees. It applies to land-administration agencies, compensation-resettlement organizations, land users under Article 4 of the 2024 Land Law, owners of crops and livestock, and other related parties. The Regulation defines annual and perennial crops, classifies perennial trees into grades A (stable fruiting), B (fruiting not yet stable), C (basic-establishment, about to fruit), D (newly planted) and E (aged, declining), and defines aquaculture forms (intensive pond/tank, tidal-flat, cage/raft, improved-extensive, traditional pond) plus swiftlets as immovable other livestock. Crop prices follow Appendices I–III; recognized elite mother trees still in exploitation receive 200% of the stable-harvest price; crops of certified high-tech agricultural enterprises receive a 1.2 coefficient; movable unharvested crops receive relocation costs and actual losses equal to 50% of the listed price. Density rules per the provincial production process: monoculture orchards at the prescribed density receive full Appendix I prices, trees exceeding density by under 100% receive 50%, and from 100% upward 10%; in mixed orchards the first species is priced as monoculture, the second at 50% of the prescribed density, and the third onward at 10% of the listed price. Appendix I prices perennial fruit trees per tree by grade (durian grade A 13,430,500 VND; Hoa Loc mango 6,265,000 VND; vu sua 4,925,000 VND; mangosteen 3,000,000 VND; coconut 2,350,000 VND). Appendix II prices timber trees (red sua and cam lai up to 6,500,000 VND/tree; IIA endangered species up to 2,500,000 VND; common large-timber species up to 800,000 VND; bamboo clumps up to 520,000 VND) with diameter-based grading at 1.3 m. Appendix III prices annual crops (rice 5,250 VND/m2, melon 84,600 VND/m2, banana 75,000 VND/clump, papaya 173,000 VND/plant). For aquaculture, intensive, tidal-flat and cage farming are compensated as actual costs to inventory date multiplied by a revenue-expectation coefficient (Appendix IV: black tiger shrimp 1.8, whiteleg shrimp 1.7, pangasius 1.2, cage culture 1.5); improved-extensive and traditional ponds use yield x area x current price, with Appendix V setting tiger-shrimp yield at 500 kg/ha (180,000 VND/kg) and traditional fish ponds at 10,000 kg/ha (30,000 VND/kg). Swiftlet damage equals nest count at inventory times 1,620,000 VND per nest. District compensation councils answer for inventory accuracy; unlisted species are priced by analogy; the Department of Agriculture and Environment leads implementation.
