Abstract

These Instructions consisting of 7 articles aim at establishing that all deserted agricultural lands south of the grazing line are considered designated for grazing purposes, and it is not permissible to exploit them for anything other than what is exempted by a special law for non-agricultural purposes (art.1). The lease contracts concluded on these areas will be canceled and the competent agrarian reform departments will contract with peasants whose contracts are canceled in another region. Exempt from the provisions of these instructions are the deserted lands south of the pasture line that have changed their irrigation method and the local land committees shall conduct on-site inspection on the lands and organize a report showing their description, income, general surface, and method of irrigation. The pastures department in the Ministry of Agriculture will prepare plans to protect, preserve and improve pastures, and encourage who wants to grow animal fodder crops by providing them seeds and other needs (art.5). The agricultural councils in the Governorates must take what is necessary to implement the provisions of these instructions and to protect by agriculture or other the land designated for grazing in accordance with these Instructions, whether in relation to State lands, lands belonging to the private sector, or lands that have not been settled.
