If you have invested in lands with the intention of awaiting profits, these lands are considered trade goods, and zakat is obligatory on them every year. One-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%) of their market value must be given, provided their value reaches the nisab. You must also pay zakat for the previous years that you did not pay, using the same method.
