Government approves land expropriation compensation plan
The Council of Ministers in Jordan has approved a full compensation and exchange mechanism for the expropriated lands for the Aqaba Railway Project and the Potash Expansion. Under this mechanism, the legal quarter of the expropriated lands will not be deducted, even if the expropriation procedures take a long time. The mechanism includes fair compensation either by paying the market value of the land or by exchanging it for similar lands totaling 6,000 dunams from the Jordan Valley Authority’s lands. The Potash Company is committed to covering 50% of the compensation value for the designated route. It was clarified that the expropriated lands constitute less than 0.5% of the agricultural land area in the Jordan Valley, amounting to approximately 1,325 dunams out of 390,000 dunams.
