Government Decision No. 780-L validating the second pilot program for investment in modern gardening and irrigation systems in household land plots.

This Government Decision primarily addresses a governmental decision concerning the implementation of a pilot program for the introduction of modern irrigation and orchard establishment systems in private land plots. It aims to promote high-yield, certified planting material and efficient water resource use, aligning with broader policy goals of agricultural modernization and resource management. Key measures include the approval of the second pilot project for land plot orchard establishment and irrigation systems, detailed participant roles involving ministries, local authorities, and private contractors, and criteria for beneficiary eligibility—namely, land plots of at least 100 square meters with ownership rights. The document specifies procedures for application submission, contractual obligations, and financial arrangements, including funding proportions from the government and beneficiaries. It emphasizes quality standards for planting material, irrigation system installation, and ongoing maintenance, with explicit stipulations for monitoring, evaluation, and potential financial recovery in case of non-compliance or failure to meet standards. Implementation mechanisms involve a series of procedural steps: application review, water access verification, contractual agreements, work execution, and post-completion monitoring. Responsibilities are distributed among local government officials, evaluators, and contractors, with specified timelines for each phase—such as application deadlines, work completion by December 2026, and monitoring periods extending up to five years post-implementation. The process includes detailed documentation requirements, oversight through inspections and reports, and provisions for addressing deficiencies, ensuring adherence to the outlined policy and legal standards.
