Despite having their land with high ground water table, and having the limitations on watering secondary crops, the farmers use their plots intensively, and the amount of land under secondary crops was about 12 percent during 2008 (so the land usage was 112 percent).
As one can see from the table above, cotton and wheat occupy 77.5 percent of the land. It is important to note that the structure includes all types of crops and trees, including secondary crops and plants between the trees. This crop structure has been used for the calculation of sums to be reimbursed to farmers before the land acquisition for IDs. All calculations and other relevant figures for the calculation of reimbursements are included in the Chapter 8 “Valuation of and compensation for losses” below.
Shortage of machinery and high costs of leasing machinery is one of the acute problems for agricultural operators. Small farmers do not have any machinery. Only the highest-income leasehold farmers (particularly, leasehold farmers whose plots are more than 30 ha) can afford to buy independently a tractor or seeding machine, etc. Moreover, farmers with small plots, especially if they work on one to two orchard plots, have no need to buy heavy machinery.

In terms of other assets and infrastructure, the surveyed farmers almost have nothing. Only one of the surveyed farmers has a building for storage, one person has a barn in the fields, and few farmers have summer camps in the fields. None of the existing infrastructure will be damaged during the construction of IDs.

4.4Land acquisition

There will be 6 IDs (8 km) constructed in Altyaryk raion, 13 IDs (15 km) in Bagdad and 2 IDs (2 km) – in Rishtan district. The aggregated information about the lands to be affected is shown in the Table 8.

As shown in the tables 9-11 above and summarized in table 8, the six farmers in Altyaryk raion with small (1-3 ha) gardens will be the most negatively influenced by the construction of IDs.

Two of them will be able to continue the farming, because 1.5 ha for each of them will be available after finalizing the construction works. Another 4 orchard farmers will be in the most difficult situation:

• 
  2 farmers will loose 80 percent of trees but will have 0.5 ha to proceed with farming;
  
• 
  1 farmer will loose all of the trees, but also will have 0.5 ha and be able to continue farming; and
  
• 
  1 dehkan farm (guard man) will lose this plot completely.
  

All other farmers, including one large orchard farm in Rishtan raion, will merely lose 3-4 percent of their lands and the adverse affect of the land acquisition will be fully compensated by raised productivity of crops after the IDs start to cut-off subsurface water flows. Nevertheless, the farmers will be compensated for the all standing crops lost.

The total amount of land to be expropriated from 37 farms in 3 districts is expected to be only 42 ha. In addition, 27.6 ha will be temporarily occupied during the construction works. Within one agricultural season, the 27 ha will be returned to farmers, after leveling, for future farming activities.
