Ban on renting farms for activities unrelated to agriculture

Khalid bin Falah Al Suwaidi, the Chairman of the Committee, emphasized that successfully using these lands helps achieve Sharjah’s goals for economic variety and food security. By promoting agriculture, these farms can produce a wide range of crops that benefit the local market and provide financial rewards for farmers, showcasing the emirate’s commitment to supporting the agricultural community.

Al Suwaidi also pointed out that some farmers tend to rent out their farms for other uses during the winter, which goes against their intended purpose. This can lead to problems for neighbouring farms and also puts renters at risk if their privacy is compromised or if they face any issues.

To tackle these problems, the Committee is increasing its oversight and awareness efforts to address these violations swiftly. They aim to protect the integrity of farms, maintain a peaceful environment, and support agricultural growth and community awareness.
