Prospective tenants have been selected for the lease of 25,549 hectares of pasture land encompassing a total of 196 cadastral codes. Auctions were conducted for 61 land plots with a combined area of 10,607 hectares. Participants will directly receive 105 plots of land. The relevant agreements are scheduled for signing in December
Detailed pasture information is available on the websites of the National Agency for Sustainable Land Management and Land Use Monitoring (the Land Agency) and the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture of Georgia (MEPA) (www.land.gov.ge; www.mepa.gov.ge) as well as on the Land Agency's official Facebook page.
On October 6, 2021, the Government of Georgia approved the state program on "access to state-owned pastures". 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.
