The main principles are: 1) Compensation fees for collective land acquisition include compensation fees for land, young crops and ground attachments, and resettlement subsidy. ii 2) The resettlement subsidy for LA is calculated based on the agricultural population to be resettled, which is equal to the amount of acquired farmland divided by the amount of farmland possessed by each member of the unit affected by LA before LA. 3) Compensation fees for young crops and ground attachments are based on actual losses. 4) No resettlement subsidy will be paid for acquisition of unused land and rural land for construction. 5. Compensation and restoration measures 1) Compensation rates for acquired collective land In Jila Village, the compensation rate for farmland is 175,099 yuan/mu, and that for construction land and unused land 175,099 yuan/mu; in Baisha Village, the compensation rate for farmland is 175,099 yuan/mu, and that for construction land and unused land 175,099 yuan/mu. 2) Compensation rate for demolished field attendance houses The demolished field attendance houses in Jila Village will be compensated for pursuant to the Interim Measures for the Administration of House Demolition on Collective Land of Liuzhou City, and the compensation rate is 370 yuan/m2. 3) Resettlement and restoration measures The income loss rates of all households affected by LA do not exceed 5%. According to the LA compensation program, the LA compensation rate is 175,099 yuan/mu. According to the compensation distribution programs of the affected villages, the 36 AHs in Jila Village will receive 28,093 yuan per capita in compensation, equivalent to 58 times per capita annual loss; the 21 AHs in Baisha Village will receive 22,062 yuan per capita in compensation, equivalent to 52 times per capita annual loss. In the Project, per capita compensation is much higher than per capita annual loss. Most AHs support the Project because they think that the Project will improve the living environment and agricultural production conditions. Most of the APs require cash compensation for LA, because this mode is easy to operate and they can use compensation freely. During the DSM and resettlement planning, the task force conducted extensive consultation on resettlement programs with the resettlement agencies concerned by means of FGD, etc. Different income restoration programs have been developed based on adequate consultation. The income restoration measures for land contracted by households include cash compensation, collective income sharing, social security and employment. 6. Vulnerable groups and women For the purpose of the Project, vulnerable groups would include disabled persons, five- guarantee households, women-headed households and minimum living security households. According to the survey, there is no vulnerable group in the affected population that fell into the above category. 7.
