Balance index of cultivated land occupation and compensation

Legal analysis: the occupying unit should be responsible for reclaiming the cultivated land with the same quantity and quality as the occupied cultivated land; If there are no conditions for reclamation, land reclamation fees shall be paid in accordance with the law, which shall be used exclusively for reclamation of new cultivated land. The balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation is the legal obligation of units and individuals occupying cultivated land.

Land consolidation is the main channel to supplement cultivated land. The implementation of the balance system of cultivated land occupation and compensation is mainly through the implementation of land remediation projects, adjusting measures to local conditions, stripping the arable layer, improving the soil, and comprehensively managing fields, water, roads, forests and villages, so that the newly added compensation can match the quantity and quality of cultivated land occupied. The balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation is strictly in accordance with the principle of "occupying one to supplement one and complementing each other's advantages" in quantity and quality. For those who cannot reach the quality of cultivated land occupied due to natural conditions, the quantity and quality shall be converted according to the grade, and the comprehensive balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation shall be realized by increasing a certain area.

Legal basis: "Guiding Opinions of the Ministry of Land and Resources on Implementing the Balance of Occupation and Compensation by Combining the Quantity and Quality of Cultivated Land" (1). Implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on strict farmland protection, give full play to the remedial role of the balance of occupation and compensation in the occupation of cultivated land by industrialization and urbanization, vigorously promote land consolidation, and implement the transformation of cultivated land quality. Through the reform of the combination of cultivated land occupation and compensation, we can not only realize the construction of cultivated land, but also ensure the balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation in quantity and quality, meet the needs of industrialization and urbanization, support the timely landing of key construction projects with steady growth, and realize economic and social development.
