The use of treasury lands to promote agriculture, animal husbandry, education, tourism and other investments will continue next year.
The supply of Treasury real estate will continue to provide land support for "project-based investments".
Within the scope of investment incentive activities, real estate with a surface area of 10 million square meters will be advertised every year until 2028 for investments in education, agriculture, animal husbandry, tourism and other purposes.
In the 8 months of this year, 6 million 738 thousand square meters of real estate was advertised for investments in these areas. In this context, preliminary permission and easement rights were established for 24 thousand square meters of real estate for an investment amount of 174 million lira.
The use of real estate under the private ownership of the Treasury or under the control and disposal of the state in projects that support domestic agricultural production activities will continue in the new year. While agricultural lands belonging to the Treasury are rented directly to users for up to 10 years, the rental fees are calculated based on half of the ecrimisil fee determined for the current year.
In addition, those who fulfill their obligations at the end of the lease period are given the right to extend this period, or those who have used it for 10 years are given the right to purchase it directly. So far, lease agreements have been signed with 101 thousand farmers who meet the necessary conditions. With the latest regulation, the deadline for applying to benefit from the application has been removed, and if citizens apply, they are provided with the possibility of a rental agreement instead of usage in return for payment.
Support for crop production
In order to reduce the import of medicinal and aromatic plants and ornamental plants and encourage their production in the country, citizens who want to grow these plant species have been given the opportunity to rent Treasury real estate.
In this context, efforts to advertise Treasury real estate for rent to real or legal persons within certain programs will continue. Since August 2018, when the practice began for the cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants and ornamental plants, 51.1 million square meters of real estate has been rented.
Leases for afforestation purposes in species such as poplar, alder, eucalyptus, almond, pistachio, olive, walnut, pistachio pine, red pine, cedar, fir, spruce and acacia that have the potential to be grown in the country will be supported. Provinces where high efficiency can be achieved in growing these products will be determined and Treasury real estate will be offered for this purpose.
This year, Treasury real estate with a surface area of 5 million 957 thousand square meters, primarily for walnuts, almonds and pistachios, was rented for afforestation purposes.
Land allocation for urban transformation
In order to support urban transformation activities, to solve the housing problem and to support the transformation of cities into healthier areas that are resistant to natural disasters, the transfer of Treasury real estates declared as reserve areas or land production areas to implementing organizations will continue.
This year, Treasury real estate with a surface area of 31.6 million square meters was allocated to the Urban Transformation Directorate to be used as a reserve area.
In order to solve the housing problem and prevent unplanned urbanization, Treasury real estate with a surface area of approximately 1.5 million square meters within the scope of the "My First Home Land Project", approximately 16 million square meters within the scope of the "Social Housing Project" and approximately 732 thousand square meters within the scope of the "My First Workplace Project" was transferred to the Mass Housing Administration (TOKİ).
The transfer of Treasury-owned real estate with a surface area of 3.3 million square meters, a non-registered area with a surface area of 136 thousand square meters and a pasture property with a surface area of 777 thousand square meters, which remained in the temporary and definitive settlement areas determined after the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes, was transferred to TOKİ.
Treasury lands will be used for wind and solar power plants
Within the scope of combating climate change, steps are being taken to increase electricity production based on renewable energy sources by using domestic resources.
In order for consumers to meet their electricity needs from their own production facilities, to bring small-scale production facilities into the economy and to ensure the effective use of these resources, easement rights are established on Treasury real estate in favor of investors for up to 29 years.
Treasury real estate can also be used to establish unlicensed electricity production facilities based on renewable energy sources, especially solar and wind power plants, without the obligation to obtain a license or establish a company.
In this regard, 348 million 829 thousand square meters of Treasury real estate has been announced so far and preliminary permission and easement rights have been established for 688 real estate with an area of 156 million 296 thousand square meters.
