Compensations for acquisition of lands under permanent crops (fruit trees, vineyards, berry bushes) shall be calculated separately for each tree/bush.

Calculation of compensations for permanent acquisition of land under permanent crops. Agricultural producers shall be paid gross annual income for 1 year, received from all trees on the plot. Gross income from one tree shall be calculated as cost of produce in current market prices, based on data on average production of one tree for last three years, and the data on the number of trees. Valuation shall be performed separately for each crop, so that an average weighted annual income is obtained. Besides, agricultural producers are entitled to lost income, which would have been received until the end of productive life of trees. Compensation of lost income per tree shall be calculated as net income for the previous year, in current prices, multiplied by the remaining period of productive life of the tree. Remaining period of productive life shall be calculated by extracting current age of a tree as of the date of calculations, from the maximum production life. Productive lives of fruit trees are shown in Table 15.

For calculation of compensation for permanent acquisition of land being used for permanent crops, the following data is required for each type of orchard:

• 
  Number of trees by type;
  
• 
  Average production from each tree during last three years;
  
• 
  Current market prices for fruits;
  
• 
  Age of trees; and
  
• 
  Maximum productive life.
  

If orchard farmers, whose plots are to be acquired, will get replacement land of similar quality, apart from the compensation of lost income for 1 year, they will be provided with funds for setting up new orchards. These compensations include expenditures related to planting trees (cost of plant, transportation expenses, plus planting expenses), as well as lost income for the period until the tree becomes productive (expenses for planting new tree, and ages of productivity of various sorts of trees are shown in Table 15).

Valuation of compensations for temporary acquisition of lands under permanent crops includes expenses related to orchard recovery. These include expenditures related to planting trees, as well as lost income for the period until the trees become productive.

For calculation of compensation for starting a new orchard (when a replacement plot is allocated and in instances of temporary land acquisition), the following data is required on each type of trees:

• 
  Number of trees;
  
• 
  Costs of planting one tree;
  
• 
  Net income from 1 tree per year, in market current prices; and
  
• 
  Age of productivity.
  

Estimates of compensations for temporary and permanent acquisition of land being occupied by permanent crops, are presented in Table 15.
