Land restoration policy

Legal analysis: enterprises and individuals should not only be responsible for land reclamation, but also pay compensation for land loss to the units that have suffered losses for the state-owned land used by other units or the collectively-owned land that has not been requisitioned by the state. Land loss compensation is divided into cultivated land loss compensation, forest land loss compensation and other land loss compensation. Compensation for cultivated land loss is based on the average annual output in the three years before the actual production reduction, and enterprises and individuals pay corresponding loss compensation year by year according to the actual losses caused each year; Where a collective economic organization contracts to recover its original land, the compensation period shall be determined in accordance with the reasonable construction period agreed in the contract.
