Before the farmland market is opened up a complete stocktaking that could cost up to UAH 2 billion is to be conducted, Agricultural Policy and Food Minister of Ukraine Oleksiy Pavlenko has said.
"For example, for farmland stocktaking the preliminary budget is to be up to UAH 2 billion. There are many laws that we want to pass," he told Interfax-Ukraine when commenting on the prospects of lifting the moratorium on the sale of farmland.
The funds are not foreseen in the national budget for 2015.
