The answer

Zakat is obligatory on land purchased for trade, even if its value decreases or it becomes unsaleable. This is the well-known opinion among jurists. However, if the land is for exploitation and not for sale, then Zakat is not obligatory on the land itself, but rather on its produce if it is obtained.
