The farmers who intend to set up pumping stations and pressure pipes on publicly owned farmland will spend less money on the necessary cadastral documentation, IPN reports, quoting the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry.

The Ministry requested to amend the order on measures to standardize the making of cadastral documentation when working out cadastral plans and updating geometrical plans, at the request of farmers.

In accordance with the made amendments, for placing irrigation systems, a geometrical plan will the drawn up only for the portion of land where these systems will be set up, not for the whole plot. Thus, the costs will be lower.

The Ministry considers that these changes will lead to an improvement in the situation of farmers who complain that the harvest is lower owing to drought and to the difficulties met in using water for irrigation.
