The proposed document contains amendments to several legislative acts, including the Civil and Tax Codes. One of the key points is the renaming of the existing law "On Peasant (Farm) Households" to "On Dykankas and Family Farms".
The main innovation is the introduction of two forms of farming:
- Dykanka farm — an independent entity with legal status, created based on the labor of two or more families engaged in the joint production of agricultural products on land and property owned, used, or rented.
- Family farm — an entity with physical status, based on the labor of one family engaged in agricultural production on a land share, rented plot, or household land.
The draft law also clarifies that the procedure for creating and registering these forms of farming will be determined by the Cabinet of Ministers. The property belonging to the farms will be in joint ownership of their members unless otherwise specified in the law or contract.
The document specifically states that family farms engaged in agricultural production must register as individuals. Each member of such a farm has the right to freely exit with their land share and create a separate family farm or join a peasant farm.
If the law is adopted, it will come into force 10 days after its official publication, and the Cabinet will be tasked with aligning its decisions with the new norms.
