Land consolidation - benefits for farmers and rural communities

Small-scale farmers in the Republic of North Macedonia account for roughly 87 percent of the total agricultural production value, but due to unfavorable land structures - the average farm size is below 2 hectares, and the land is highly fragmented - farms are low in agricultural productivity and competitiveness when compared to most European Union member countries.
The EU-funded “Maintreaming of the National Land Consolidation Programme” - or MAINLAND - project, implemented by FAO in cooperation with the country’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy, aims to fix that.
The project supports agricultural land consolidation, a process of grouping land parcels, aiming to enlarge them, optimize farm holdings and establish necessary infrastructure including roads and irrigation. Land consolidation directly increases efficiency in agricultural production and contributes to improvement of living standards in rural communities.
