Anyone wishing gets land in the villages in accordance with the existing legal framework: for private subsidiary farming or construction of dacha (up to 15 acres). “But if you want to build an enterprise for growing organic produce — it’s not enough. So now we meet with them (with wishing to create a family homestead. — Note by BELTA), prepare a report to the President to determine the form of operation, the size of these settlements, to give them a legal base”, — Mikhail Rusy said.
According to him, there are more than 570 people in Belarus who consider themselves the owners of family homestead. Especially a lot of citizens in Volozhin and Vitebsk areas.
It is possible Belagroprombank will provide assistance in this area, giving loans for construction works, purchase of equipment or buildings.
