LANDNET participants’ visit to Egri land consolidation area
One of the key themes of the 13th international LANDNET workshop, which took place from 25–27 May 2022 in Skopje, North Macedonia, was presenting the experiences and lessons learned with the introduction of land consolidation in North Macedonia and the results achieved so far, as a result of the joint efforts of the EU, FAO and the Macedonian Ministry of Agriculture.
LANDNET participants gathered first-hand experience on land consolidation through a guided field visit in the EU–FAO MAINLAND project area in Egri village (Municipality of Bitola), North Macedonia, and heard directly from the Egri farmers how they benefitted from the MAINLAND project.
As the first finalized majority-based land consolidation project in North Macedonia, Egri is an example of a successful land consolidation in an international perspective. The improved structure of agricultural land was also complemented with agricultural infrastructure investments for improving agricultural roads and drainage and irrigation channels, funded by the European Union in the amount of EUR 500 000.
