The plan for the priority return of agricultural land to economic use has been updated since the beginning of 2024: now, more than 512 thousand hectares of agricultural lands are subject to clearance and demining. The plan has been revised, incorporating new lands that will be demined first. Our goal is to return over 512 thousand hectares of land to economic use," said the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine, Yulia Svyrydenko.
According to the updated plan, the priority return of lands to economic use will take place in 8 regions. Surveying, clearance, and demining are expected in the following regions:
