Village collective land has been abandoned for more than ten years. Can individuals be cultivated?

Legal analysis: Yes, before reclaiming land in rural areas, it is best to check whether the wasteland you want to reclaim has development rights. If you are in rural areas, it is best to apply to the local land management department before reclamation, and the land can only be reclaimed after the approval of the people's government. More than 600 hectares of wasteland can only be reclaimed after being reported to the State Council.

Legal basis: Article 40 of the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, if state-owned barren hills, wasteland and wasteland with uncertain right to use are developed for planting, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery production, they may be designated by the development unit or individual for long-term use with the approval of the people's government at or above the county level according to law.
