November 4, Fineko/abc.az. To date, a total of 44,731 hectares of agricultural land have been cleared of mines and unexploded ordnance by the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) in the territories of Azerbaijan liberated from occupation. Cleaning certificates and schematic maps of 27,783 hectares were submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture.

ABC.AZ reports that Agriculture Minister Majnun Mammadov stated about this during a public hearing in parliament on the topic "Combating the mine threat - the impact of explosives on the ecosystem".

According to the minister, the process in this direction continues intensively.

"As a result of this cooperation, with strict compliance with safety rules, 10,000 hectares were involved in crop rotation in the 2020-21 economic year, 50,000 hectares in the 2021-2022 economic year, and 72,000 hectares in the 2022-2023 economic year. And this is only 60% of potential territories. Apparently, 40% of land plots for these reasons are still not involved in crop rotation," he said.
