FAO workshop focuses on stronger land markets in Central Asia

The basis of agricultural production is land, and farmers need a properly functioning land market in order to make the most out of this precious asset. To this end, FAO convened Central Asian representatives of all related spheres in Bishkek to discuss the potentials of developing their national agricultural land markets.

At the two-day workshop, participants will explore opportunities for implementing land management instruments, as well as policy options for an active land policy to develop agricultural land markets.

Well-managed agricultural land markets allow for transfers of land to more efficient users and producers while also providing access to land to new entrants, such as young farmers. In Central Asia, FAO is actively supporting improved land markets in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. The work carried out and planned in those countries will also be presented in Bishkek.
