Almost half of agricultural land is not used in the suburbs

According to official figures published on the Internet resource of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Moscow Region, no more than 50 percent of agricultural land is used in the region, the remaining ones are idle. The authorities of the Moscow Region plan to rectify the situation during 2013 — to begin to master the territories not used now.

More than 40 percent agricultural land of the Moscow Region are not used

Today in the suburbs there are more than 40 percent of agricultural land, which, instead of used, overgrow by forests and turn into the so -called deposits. To return agricultural land to its original state, you need to carry out a large -scale work.

The total volume of lands not used as intended for the purpose of this category has, according to the ex-Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Moscow Region Alexei Skoroyoy, 700 thousand hectares. According to the forecasts of the regional authorities, you can count on an additional 4 billion rubles as taxes that can be obtained in the case of land involvement in agricultural defense, and annual production on these lands for 71 billion rubles.

In mid -2012, the Government of the Moscow Region made an offer by 10 times to increase the tax rate from unused lands — from 0.3 percent of the cadastral value of up to 3 percent. The authorities also proposed ten times — from 100 thousand to a million rubles — to increase fines for legal entities that do not use their agricultural lands for their intended purpose. Mosobladu supported the initiative of the government.
