Theprinciples and methods of land valuation were also among the issues oflawmakers’ concern.
Deputy Tran Van Khaifrom Ha Nam said the big gap between ground-rents, which arises fromthe conversion of land use purposes, specifically when land with low value istransformed into land with high value, implies unfairness in society. He cited as an example that agricultural land is often acquired andcompensated at low prices before being converted into non-agricultural,residential, commercial or high-value service land whose prices are severaltimes higher than agricultural land.
