First Land Consolidation Project of BAALO


The first land consolidation project in the village of Katunets, Ugyrchin municipality, Lovech region was attended by nine owners, with 440 hectares consolidated. The project, which started in 2008, achieved an increase in the average size of the properties up to three times and managed to arrange them for each of the owners in specific blocks. Before the project began, the average rent on the ground was about 0,5 leva per hectare, and after finishing the project, it reached 25 leva and brought serious farmers to the land, which also benefited the owners who did not participate in the project. Within the framework of the project, two of the participants were given the opportunity to create large blocks for new perennials and also gave them the opportunity to work on the construction of irrigation systems in their new properties.
