What are the policy provisions on land use for building pig houses in 2020? With regional updates
In 2019, under the impact of African swine fever, the number of live pigs nationwide dropped sharply, causing meat prices to rise rapidly. Pork is also one of the meats commonly eaten in daily life, and the state made relevant measures to encourage farmers to raise pigs. Let us take a look below at the policy provisions on land use for building pig houses in 2020 that farmers care about.
1. What are the policy provisions on land use for building pig houses in 2020?
According to the Notice on Issues Concerning the Guarantee of Land for Live Pig Breeding issued by the General Office of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the notice emphasizes the need to improve land use policy for live pig production:
1. Land for live pig breeding shall be treated as facility agricultural land and managed as agricultural land, and no approval procedures for construction land shall be required; on the premise of not occupying permanent basic farmland, land space shall be reasonably arranged, land for live pig breeding shall be allowed to use general cultivated land, and as a breeding use it shall not require cultivated land occupation-compensation balance.
2. For production facility land such as live pig breeding pens, passages within the farm area and green isolation belts, the land scale shall be determined according to the breeding scale; the scale of ancillary facility land shall be increased, the upper limit of 15 mu shall be abolished, and the land needs for facilities such as waste treatment in live pig breeding production shall be guaranteed.
3. Encourage the use of barren hills, barren gullies, barren mounds, barren beaches, rural collective construction land and existing breeding facility land for live pig breeding production, and localities may further formulate encouragement and support policies.
