The state program on development of the new irrigated lands and recovery which were disposed from agricultural land turnover in the Republic of Tajikistan for 2012 - 2020

The state program on development of the new irrigated lands and recovery which were disposed from agricultural land turnover in the Republic of Tajikistan for 2012-2020 (further - the Program) is constituted for the purpose of increase in efficiency of agricultural production of the country, providing rural population with workplaces and on this basis of improvement of level of living of citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan.

1. General provisions

1. Bioclimatic capacity of Tajikistan is characterized by duration of warm period of time, huge inventories of water resources and fertile lands. Land resources are limited, constitute only 7 percent of its territory. Lands, suitable for irrigation, in the country are estimated at 1570 thousand hectares from which by 2011 743,7 of one thousand hectares was mastered. In case of the population equal to 7,6 of one million people, security per capita makes 0,09 of hectares that several times it is less than in neighboring states of the region. In the country in case of rich water resources sharp deficit of irrigation lands is felt.

2. The lack of the irrigated areas is connected with severe relyefnogeografichesky conditions. Farmlands constitute 32,1 of percent of the territory of the country.

3. Comparative analysis of perspective development, population and modern rates of development of new lands demonstrates that by 2025 the specific areas of the irrigated lands will decrease to 0,08 of hectares per capita. Taking into account salinization of part of the irrigated lands, the inadmissible level of ground waters, deficit of water in zones of machine irrigation, construction of constructions of city, rural and production appointment at the expense of the irrigated lands, specific security with the irrigated lands over the country by 2025 can decrease to hectare 0,06 per capita.

4. Food security depends not only on total quantity of the irrigated lands, but also on their fertility. However countrywide the inventory of the necessary irrigated fields remains decisive factor.

5. Development of new lands in the conditions of huge deficit of financial resources is extremely complex challenge. According to the order of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan of December 2, 2006, No. 517 and of December 26, 2008, No. 620 provided until the end of 2010 development of 4942 hectares of the new irrigated lands in areas of the Rasht valley and until the end of 2011 1767 hectares in other areas of the republic. By calculations of the specialists, in difficult conditions connected with arrangement of sources of water and the irrigated lands, for development of new lands with construction of all necessary infrastructure specific capital investments will constitute within 50-70 thousand somoni on hectare.

2. Recovery disposed from agricultural land turnover and development of the new irrigated lands in the Republic of Tajikistan

6. According to the State committee on land management and geodesy of the Republic of Tajikistan in the republic in 2010 for the different reasons of 15297 hectares of the irrigated lands were not used, and 23897 hectares of the irrigated lands were waste and were disposed from agricultural turnover. The analysis demonstrates what one of basic reasons of disposal of the most part of these lands of agricultural turnover was wear of the hydraulic engineering constructions and intraeconomic pumping points which are on balance of the reformed farms. The reformed farms for many years did not watch and did not repair hydraulic engineering constructions, irrigating and drainage networks.

7. On an equal basis with recovery of the irrigated lands which were disposed from agricultural land turnover development new has strategic importance for development of agricultural industry. In proportion to growth of population of Tajikistan development of new lands shall be conducted annually on thousands hectares. But logically possible number of development of the areas of the new irrigated lands is provided in the Program because of deficit of means.

3. Program purpose

8. Main objective of this Program is recovery in agricultural turnover of the disposed lands and expansion of the areas of the irrigated lands in the country in 2012-2020. This Program, answers the purpose of other programs of % of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan for improvement of level of living of people and is designed to make contribution in social and economic development of the country.
