ProjectEstablishment of Land Management Instruments and Institutional Framework to Address Land Abandonment - TCP/ARM/3705 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The agricultural sector in Armenia contributes around 20 percent to gross domestic product and provides employment to around 40 percent of the country’s labour force The backbone of agriculture in the country is represented by smallholders and family farms According to 2014 census data, 317 346 family farms contribute over 97 percent of the total agricultural output and comprise 99 86 percent of all active agricultural holdings As a result, agriculture in the country is mostly at subsistence and semi subsistence level, with low productivity and competitiveness in global, regional and national markets Land fragmentation and small average farm sizes are key constraints to agricultural transformation In 2014 average farm size was 1 48 ha for farms without legal status and 62 57 ha for farms with legal status In addition, according to the Agricultural Census 2014 an average 33 percent of arable agricultural land belonging to holdings without legal status and 38 percent of that of holdings with legal status is abandoned Land abandonment has many root causes, including inefficient farm structures, an aging rural population, migration, the dependence of agricultural production on water and the unavailability of irrigation facilities. -
ProjectFinal report: Feasibility study on the implementation of a land consolidation pilot project in Georgia 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This summary presents the key findings and recommendations of the report on the feasibility of implementing land consolidation pilots in Georgia. Farms in Georgia are small and fragmented: about 99 percent of all farms are smaller than 5 ha and the average farm size is 1.4 ha distributed into 4–5 parcels. Land consolidation can support agriculture and rural development by reducing fragmentation of parcels and enlarging farms. Including land consolidation as part of a multi-purpose project brings additional benefits. In particular, integrating land consolidation with irrigation rehabilitation allows it to play a critical role in strengthening the agriculture–water–land nexus and climate change adaptation. A fully operational national land consolidation programme is feasible. The feasibility study presents a vision for the long term: a fully operational national land consolidation programme where land consolidation can be implemented, as appropriate, as a standalone initiative or as part of a multi-purpose project. This is possible. It has been done elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe in less than a decade. The vision can be achieved if there is a strong and sustained interest by the relevant government agencies and by farmers and their communities, and if there is the sustained political will and support to make it happen. -
