How much is the compensation for perennial plants when the state recovers the land?

Pursuant to Article 90 of the 2013 Land Law of Vietnam, the compensation for perennial plants when the State recovers land is as follows:

Compensation for plants and livestock
1. In case the land expropriation by the State causes damage to plants, the compensation shall be made according to the following provisions:
a/ For annual crops, the compensation must be equal to the output value of the harvest. The output value of the harvest is the highest yield of the harvests in the preceding 3 years of the local main crop and the average price at the time of land expropriation;
b/ For perennial crops, the compensation must be equal to the current value of the planting area calculated in local prices at the time of the land expropriation, excluding the value of land use rights;
c/ For plants which have not been harvested yet but can be brought to another location, the transportation cost and the actual damage due to the transportation and re-planting must be compensated;
d/ For planted forests funded by the state budget and for natural forests allocated to organizations, households and individuals for planting, management, growing or protection, the value of the actual damage must be compensated. The compensation amount must be divided to those who manage, grow and protect the forests in accordance with the law on forest protection and development.
2. In case land expropriation by the State causes damage to aquatic livestock, the compensation must be made according to the following provisions:
a/ For aquatic livestock which are due to be harvested at the time of land expropriation, no compensation must be made;
b/ For aquatic livestock which are not due to be harvested at the time of land expropriation, the actual damage due to the early harvest must be compensated. In case the aquatic livestock can be brought to another location, the transportation cost and the damage caused by the transportation must be compensated. The specific compensation amount must be determined by provincial-level People’s Committees.

Thus, in case the land expropriation by the State causes damage to plants, the compensation shall be made according to the following provisions:

- For annual crops, the compensation must be equal to the output value of the harvest. The output value of the harvest is the highest yield of the harvests in the preceding 3 years of the local main crop and the average price at the time of land expropriation;

- For perennial crops, the compensation must be equal to the current value of the planting area calculated in local prices at the time of the land expropriation, excluding the value of land use rights;

- For plants which have not been harvested yet but can be brought to another location, the transportation cost and the actual damage due to the transportation and re-planting must be compensated;

- For planted forests funded by the state budget and for natural forests allocated to organizations, households and individuals for planting, management, growing or protection, the value of the actual damage must be compensated. The compensation amount must be divided to those who manage, grow and protect the forests in accordance with the law on forest protection and development.
