OREANDA-NEWS. March 11, 2011. Carrying of the land reform allows for the first time in recent decades to legalize landowners to create a clear circulation of agricultural land and to ensure food security.

However, promoting and protecting of Ukrainian producers on world markets and supporting of priority industries and agriculture is impossible without fundamental and urgent reform of legislation. About this Minister of Agricultural Policy and Food of Ukraine Mykola Prysiazhniuk said in his article, "Agricultural Strategy for Ukraine" published by the newspaper "Governmental Courier".

According to the Minister, to conduct land reform in Ukraine should be solely for the interests of Ukraine and its citizens. "I clearly understand that it is impossible to start the discussion without understanding of the underlying trends, on the implementation of which Ministry works. This implementation of agricultural strategy should provide comprehensive and systematic state agricultural policy," - Nikolay Prysiazhniuk said.

He also convinced that the priority for 2011 is changing legislation and bring it into conformity not only to the challenges of the global market but also to the economic realities of today. As a part of legislative reforms will be filling an electronic state land cadastre, reducing the time for registration of land titles to 14 days, an inventory of land resources and approval of agricultural production of passports.

Among the priorities of authorities Nicholas Prisyajnyuk calls protect the interests and full support of rural communities and farmers in the draft laws of Ukraine "On Land Market", "On state land cadastre" “On On land consolidation”, State program of demarcation and inventory lands.

Proposed changes to laws in the field of land relations will provide a transparent market for agricultural land based on a united system of land registry, Nikolai Prysiazhniuk said. However, changes in legislation guaranteeing the rational use of agricultural land as clearly defined its real owner.

"Only through land reform can provide an effective mechanism for implementation of land ownership. The position of President and Ministry of Agriculture is to prevent the situation when the peasants leave their land. Immediate adoption of land laws provides enforcement of traffic of the land from the early next year. The law prevents speculation and monopolization of agricultural land market. The following legislative work, we plan to complete during the first half of this year," - assured Minister of Agricultural Policy and Food of Ukraine.
