Limits on receiving transfers of agricultural land use rights.
The decree also stipulates the limits on the transfer of agricultural land use rights to households and individuals. Accordingly, the limits on the transfer of land use rights for annual crops, perennial crops, planted production forests, aquaculture land, and salt production land for each household and individual for agricultural purposes apply to the forms of land use rights transfer, donation, and debt settlement as agreed in the land use rights mortgage contract.
Specifically, for land used for annual crops, aquaculture, and salt production, the limit is no more than 30 hectares for each type of land in provinces and centrally-administered cities in the Southeast and Mekong Delta regions; and no more than 20 hectares for each type of land in other provinces and centrally-administered cities.
For land used for perennial crops, the limit is no more than 100 hectares for communes, wards, and towns in the plains; and no more than 300 hectares for communes, wards, and towns in the midland and mountainous regions.
As for planted production forests, the limit is no more than 150 hectares for communes, wards, and towns in the plains; and no more than 300 hectares for communes, wards, and towns in the midland and mountainous regions.
In cases where a household or individual receives the transfer of agricultural land use rights in multiple provinces and centrally-governed cities, the total area of land received within the limits for each type of land (annual crop land, perennial crop land, planted production forest land, aquaculture land, and salt production land) shall equal the land use right transfer limit in the province or centrally-governed city with the highest land use right transfer limit.
In cases where a household or individual receives the transfer of agricultural land use rights encompassing multiple land types (annual crop land, perennial crop land, planted production forest land, aquaculture land, and salt production land), the limit on the transfer of agricultural land use rights for that household or individual shall be determined according to each land type as stipulated above.
Households and individuals who have used agricultural land exceeding the prescribed transfer limit and registered the transfer of land use rights before July 1, 2007, may continue to use the excess land area as if it were within the transfer limit.
Households and individuals who have used agricultural land exceeding the prescribed transfer limit and have registered the transfer of land use rights from July 1, 2007, to before July 1, 2014, may continue to use the land and only have to switch to leasing the land from the State for the area exceeding the transfer limit.
