Parliament urges review of farm rent hikes and Sohag land issues
A parliamentarian has appealed to the Minister of Agriculture to review the successive increases in the rental values of Agricultural Reform lands, especially after they rose from 2,500 pounds in 2021 to 22,000 pounds in 2025, representing an increase of approximately 780% over four years. He also called for an examination of the legal status of 163 acres in the village of Awlad Yahya Al-Hajar in Sohag, as some farmers are challenging their ownership of the land and asserting that it is not part of the Agricultural Reform lands, based on previous documents and decisions. The deputy urged the formation of an impartial committee to conduct field inspections, examine the documents, and verify the procedures' validity, with the goal of resolving the dispute and safeguarding the rights of the farmers and the state. He also called for the suspension of administrative measures that could harm the farmers until the investigation is complete.
