KUWAIT CITY, Jan 28:  The Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAAFR) issued Resolution No. 21 of 2025, which amends Article Two of Resolution No. 110 of 1999 regarding the conditions and procedures for granting grazing licenses, in accordance with the provisions of Decree Law No. 41 of 1988.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the authority outlined the new resolution, which sets specific requirements for applicants seeking grazing licenses. The applicant must be a Kuwaiti citizen aged 21 or older and must submit a certificate of good conduct, ensuring that they have not been convicted of any crime involving dishonor or trust, whether felony or misdemeanor.

The resolution also stipulates that the applicant must own at least 50 heads of sheep and goats, or five camels or cows. Additionally, applicants are required to pay a deposit of KD 100, with the grazing license itself costing only five dinars.

Regarding temporary facilities, the resolution clarifies that their duration will be determined by the authority. The construction of such facilities can only occur after approval from the Kuwait Municipality, followed by the approval of PAAAFR. The resolution also sets specific limits on the size of enclosures, stating that each sheep enclosure should not exceed 10 square meters, while each camel enclosure should not exceed 25 square meters. The resolution allows for the installation of tents with an area of no more than 8x5 meters, and ready-made mobile houses with a maximum area of 12x4 meters.

The resolution also prohibits the erection or placement of fences, earthen agricultural trenches, or any other types of temporary facilities on grazing sites except for those mentioned above. It is also required that the temporary facilities be situated far from security sites, oil facilities, and nature reserves. The authority reserves the right to request the removal of these temporary facilities at any time, and failure to comply could result in the authority removing them at the licensee’s expense.

Finally, the authority emphasized that any violation of the provisions outlined in the resolution would lead to the administrative cancellation of the license, in accordance with Decree Law No. 41 of 1988.
