Within the framework program in 2022-2023, the Sustainable Land Management and Land Use Monitoring Agency selected and published data on 44,040 hectares of pasture land for lease in 9 stages, and subsequently received applications from interested parties. Throughout this period, a total of 14,225 hectares of pastures were leased. Comprehensive details about these pastures can be accessed on the official websites of the National Agency for Sustainable Land Management and Land Use Monitoring and the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture of Georgia: (www.land.gov.ge ; www.mepa.gov.ge).
The state program on "access to state-owned pastures" has been implemented since 2021. The program allows livestock owners to secure and use preferred pastures through an auction within the framework of a three-year lease agreement. The program aims to promote rational pasture use, protect pastures from degradation, and simultaneously facilitate the development of the livestock sector by establishing legitimate private responsibility for pastures.
