The ban, which was set to expire on April 30, 2026, would now remain in place until 2036.
The legislation received the support of 427 MPs, with only two voting against, and five abstaining. The bill will now move to the Senate for further consideration.
The new law also increases the area of a state plot that can be sold to a farmer without ministerial approval from 2 to 5 hectares. (PAP)
