-Main information about the blue and red tabu:

-blue: It is allocated for agricultural land, and whoever receives it will be able to carry out all agricultural activities or raise poultry within the area.

Both the buyer and seller should pay in half. But it is common knowledge today that the buyer is the one who bears it only.
