In the past five years, a new land monitoring system was created. In a short period, over 42 million hectares of 45 million hectares of the country’s territory, including over 88,4% of agricultural land with an area of over 26 million hectares, were entered in the state cadastre.

The need was noted to keep separate records of vacant land plots previously used by citizens and organizations and returned to the disposal of district hokimiyats. Instructions were given to create a system that excludes the human factor for their rapid transfer to auctions.

Work has begun to transform land lease rights into market assets in agriculture. Subleasing and re-leasing institutions have been introduced. Now, tenants can transfer part of the land to another user, while retaining the rest for themselves. Previously, to do this, the plot had to be returned to the state and put up for auction again.

From 2021, agricultural land is provided exclusively on a leasehold basis. It was noted that by January 1, 2027, all agricultural land must be transferred to leasehold rights.

The construction of service facilities on agricultural land will also be permitted: light warehouses with refrigeration equipment, sorting and packaging points, structures with water-saving technologies, sheds for field work, and equipment parks. To this end, a land management project will be developed and approved in advance, which will then be recognized as a document confirming the right to land when obtaining a building permit.

This innovation opens up new opportunities: gardeners will be able to build a place to store their harvest right on their garden plot, and livestock farmers will be able to build premises for livestock and feed on part of their pastures.

The Head of State gave instructions on developing lease relations in agriculture, ensuring the protection of tenants' rights and interests, and introducing market mechanisms more widely in the sector.

Following the presentation, a decree was signed implementing the planned measures, and a decision was made to amend subordinate legislation.
