This section focuses mostly on the expropriation and compensation mechanisms of local communities when a large investor is granted agricultural land where the former had land use rights. Land acquisition may lead to involuntary resettlement and investors may be negatively impacted in their reputation and operations if they are connected to an expropriation for which the state has not paid fair compensation (FAO, 2013). However, the existing legislation in Myanmar does not establish the necessary safeguards for expropriation and fair compensation, as demonstrated by the numerous reports on land conflicts published in the media over the last months.
