Personal subsidiary farm (LPH): interpretation of key concepts

What is meant by a personal subsidiary farm (LPH) can be learned from several legal documents, the most relevant of which are the Land Code and Federal Law No. 112 (adopted in 2003, July 7). According to the latter, this term implies non-entrepreneurial activity in the cultivation and personal use of agricultural products.

What are the features of the LPH? Deciphering of normative acts indicates that this way of managing a citizen must be conducted solely or jointly with the family without hiring outsiders. Everything that he created on the land plot allocated for this purpose is his property and can be realized, for example, in the market. In this case, his activities will not be considered entrepreneurial.

How does the right to manage private plots appear? The decree of article number three of the above-mentioned federal act No. 112 states that the personal economy can be administered by all capable citizens, only the right to land is registered, but there is no need for additional legal registration for the private household plots. Land plots for such needs are divided into homestead and field. Their main difference is that buildings and structures can not be erected on field sites. A private house, auxiliary rooms, greenhouses, baths, etc. can be put on the plot.

When does the management of private households cease? The interpretation of Article 10 of the same law indicates that this type of management is terminated due to the termination of ownership of the land where the farm is located. In the activities of such family "enterprises" the body that provided the site has no right to intervene until any violations of the law are revealed.

How to organize a personal subsidiary farm? Land for him can be obtained from municipal or state property. And it is easier to do this to citizens registered in the countryside, as citizens are provided with such allotments only in the case of free land.

What does it mean for a country's economy? The interpretation of statistical data shows that such an image of economic activity in Russia is conducted by more than fifteen million people, who have about 6,400,000 hectares of land. They grow cattle, horses, pigs, produce significant potato yields, produce honey, fruits and berries of garden plants and trees.

In general, the state is interested in the development of this important area. Therefore, legislative acts provide assistance in the form of infrastructure, creation of points for the sale of products, organization of a free veterinary examination, control of animal epidemics, provision of equipment on a return basis, material assistance, and introduction of advanced technologies.
