The Government of Goa has recently announced a new regulation stating that agricultural land in the state will be out of bounds for non-Goan and non-farmers. This decision was taken with the aim of protecting the agricultural sector of the state and ensuring that the land is used for farming purposes only.
The responsible officials also stated that the regulation will be strictly enforced, and any violation will result in legal action being taken against the offender.
The new regulation is expected to benefit local farmers in the state who have been facing numerous challenges, including competition from non-local farmers and the conversion of agricultural land for non-farming purposes. By restricting non-Goan and non-farmer individuals from acquiring agricultural land, the government aims to promote the growth of the agricultural sector and protect the livelihoods of local farmers.
This decision has been welcomed by various farming communities in the state who have been advocating for such measures for a long time.
