The Cabinet of Jordan has approved a full compensation and land exchange mechanism for lands that have been expropriated for the Aqaba Port Railway project and the Potash expansion, without deducting the legal quarter on the expropriated lands, even if the expropriation procedures take an extended period. The mechanism includes two types of expropriations: the first is for lands used in favor of the Arab Potash Company under the Franchise Law of 1958, which will receive fair compensation and be registered in the name of the treasury; the second is for lands to be expropriated for the Aqaba Railway project according to the Real Estate Ownership Law of 2019, which will be compensated fully either by their monetary value or through land exchanges, with 6,000 dunams of Jordan Valley lands allocated for the exchange. The expropriated lands account for less than 5% of the agricultural lands in the Jordan Valley, estimated at approximately 1,325 dunams out of 390,000 dunams, with the Potash Company committed to covering 50% of the compensation value.
