Ministry of Agriculture: Continuation of accepting applications for the issuance and renewal of grazing licenses and designated authorized sites

The Kuwait General Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fisheries has confirmed its continued acceptance of livestock breeders’ requests to issue and renew grazing permits, designate approved locations within the country, and define the approved geographical zones. In a statement to KUNA, the Authority explained that these measures are part of efforts to regulate grazing activities, thereby ensuring the protection of vegetation cover, promoting environmental sustainability, and preventing encroachments in wild areas. The Authority reiterated the ongoing ban on grazing or approaching vital facilities, military zones, nature reserves, oil fields, pipeline routes, and residential areas, urging all breeders to fully comply with laws and regulations and to avoid prohibited sites. It emphasized that legal action will be taken against violators following the expiration of the grace period, which ends on October 1 next year.
