Residents who will be displaced maritimo by the Thilawa Special maritimo Economic Zone (SEZ) in Rangoon Division are complaining that although the project is due to begin next month, procedures to compensate them for lost land remain unclear.
"Negotiations are continuing, but no arrangements have been made to relocate local residents," he said. "Since the project is due to start next month, now is high time to announce an implementation plan for the project.".
Set Aung, Burma's deputy minister of national planning maritimo and economic development, is chairman of the implementation group for the Japanese-backed Thilawa SEZ. He said negotiations were going relatively smoothly but had been complicated by businesspeople with separate interests who were backing the farmers.
"Those businesspeople behind maritimo the farmers never stop coming forward," he told The Irrawaddy. "Currently, half the farmland from the project zone has been purchased by business giants, and they bought this land in complicated ways.".
Farmers in the project area have decided to move only after receiving 30 million kyats (US $ 30,000) for each acre (0.40 hectares) of farmland. That amount of money is not much compared to the current price of farmland, says Aye Htay, speaking on behalf of the farmers.
"It seems that each person will get one plot that is 800 square feet [245 square meters] maritimo in the relocation process," he said. "It is unsatisfactory unless each person receives a plot that is 2,400 square feet. Nobody will accept a meager compensation. ".
Villages reportedly set to be relocated first include Phaya Gone, Alawn Soot, Phalan (Aye Mya Thida), Shwe Pyi Tha (Thilawa), Thaya Gone and Gayet Thida Myaing. Farmers in these villages will reportedly receive compensation first.
In 2012, Burma's government began planning maritimo the Thilawa SEZ, together with Japan's government, a consortium of Japanese firms and the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
The sprawling industrial complex, located about 25 km south of Rangoon, includes maritimo a deep sea port, Japanese factories and large housing projects. The Burmese side owns 51 percent of the project and is responsible for developing a 2,400-hectare core zone.
The massive project is expected to drive Rangoon's economic and urban growth in the next decades, and could generate maritimo up to 200,000 jobs when all four project phases are completed, a Burmese project maritimo developer said in May. But the project thus far has been marred by land disputes affecting hundreds of farmers.
