A new resolution has been adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan to improve the procedure for the use of lands designated for agriculture. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This resolution is aimed at ensuring the effective and targeted use of agricultural lands and clearly defining the procedure for placing facilities on them. According to the current Land Code, agricultural lands are divided into two categories: agricultural lands and lands serving agriculture.
Additionally, they are classified into irrigated and non-irrigated lands. According to the new resolution, permitted facilities may be placed on non-irrigated lands based on an internal household land development project.
Before construction works begin on such lands, the applicant's lease rights, the area of the land plot, as well as the scope of irrigated and non-irrigated lands are checked through special information systems. Projects for placing light structures and temporary buildings are approved by district and city hokims.
Projects for capital construction facilities are approved by the Council of Ministers of Karakalpakstan, regional, and capital hokims. The resolution also stipulates that agricultural lands cannot be divided or sold.
Only the transfer of lease rights along with the facility to another person or sublease without changing the purpose of land use is permitted. On lands leased for livestock farming, agricultural service facilities can be placed on an area not exceeding 1 hectare and not more than 1% of the contour area.
On lands unrelated to livestock farming, the permitted area for constructing greenhouses, cooling warehouses, sorting and packaging complexes, as well as water-saving technologies or ponds must not exceed 20 hectares and not more than 1% of the lease contour area. This resolution serves to ensure the rational use of agricultural lands, limit their purposeless use, and establish transparent and systematic order in the sector.
