Uiwang City Conducts Comprehensive Review of Agricultural Land Registry

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 14th that it will conduct a comprehensive review of its agricultural land registry, which records information on agricultural land conditions, ownership, and lease agreements, by November.

The agricultural land registry is a ledger prepared to identify the current status and usage conditions of agricultural land and utilize it as agricultural administrative data. Those subject to registration include farmers (households) and agricultural corporations that cultivate or grow crops or perennial crops on agricultural land of 1,000 square meters or larger (330 square meters or larger for facilities).

The city plans to prioritize review targets and establish year-by-year plans through 2022 to proceed with the agricultural land registry review.

Phase one review targets this year include cases where the location of agricultural land differs from the address of the person responsible for registration, and agricultural land owned by farmers aged 80 or older.

The review will be conducted by comparing and analyzing databases of the agricultural land registry, land register, and agricultural management entity registration information, as well as by conducting on-site inspections.

During the agricultural land registry review process, agricultural land showing signs of illegal lease agreements will be included in the targets of the agricultural land use survey to be conducted from September through November. When violations are confirmed, agricultural land disposal orders and compliance fines will be imposed.

Additionally, the city plans to request additional clarification in cases where information does not match agricultural management entity registration details.
