Unified Federal State Information System on Agricultural Land to Expand to New Categories

Strategic Insights -

The Russian Ministry of Agriculture is preparing to expand its unified federal state information system on agricultural land (EFGIS ZSN) to include land plots beyond those specifically designated for agricultural use. This move aims to provide a broader picture of agricultural land usage across various categories. The EFGIS ZSN will now encompass information on sowing, planting, and state monitoring of agricultural land, as well as data on the utilization of lands used or provided for agriculture as part of lands of other categories. This expansion will facilitate the collection of accurate data on agricultural land usage, enabling more informed decision-making and potentially reducing tax liabilities for landowners.
