In a significant development, the Regional Committee tasked with examining complaints and observations related to the reorganization of lands within the purview of the Agricultural Land Agency in Bizerte, Tunisia, has approved the regularization of several agricultural land files in the delegacies of Ghazala and Menzel Bourguiba. This move is expected to enable landowners to obtain independent cadastral documents for their properties, thereby facilitating better financial and developmental investment. The committee's decision aims to enhance the national agricultural heritage by protecting it from irregular construction and other issues.
The Regional Committee, chaired by the Governor of Bizerte or his representative, comprises delegates from the concerned regions, the Regional Director of the Agricultural Land Agency, and representatives from various stakeholders, including the Regional Development Commission for Agriculture, the State Property Administration, and the Regional Union of Agriculture and Maritime Fishing. During its meeting, the committee reviewed detailed presentations on the areas affected by this land intervention, examined technical data, and studied recorded objections before approving the files related to the creation of the "Sajnane-Teskraya 5" public irrigation area in Ghazala.
The approved projects include the creation of the "Sajnane-Teskraya 5" public irrigation area in Ghazala, spanning 46 hectares, and the establishment of the agricultural land intervention zone "Qabtina 1" in Menzel Bourguiba, covering 561 hectares. This marks the first agricultural land intervention project completed in Menzel Bourguiba. Furthermore, the committee approved the file for the land development project in the "Al-Tarf" public irrigation area in Ghazala, which spans 206 hectares.
The regularization of these land files is expected to provide numerous benefits to landowners, including the issuance of independent cadastral documents, improved investment opportunities, and enhanced protection of the national agricultural heritage. The committee's decisions were made in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, ensuring that the rights of all stakeholders are respected.
The Regional Committee's efforts are part of a broader initiative to resolve land disputes and promote agricultural development in the region. By providing a framework for land regularization, the committee aims to reduce conflicts and encourage sustainable agricultural practices. The committee's work is also expected to contribute to the country's economic growth and food security.
According to the General Secretary of the Bizerte Governorate, Abdel Latif Hamid, the regional authorities are committed to supporting the Agricultural Land Agency in its efforts to resolve land disputes and promote agricultural development. The authorities are working to ensure that all necessary conditions are in place to facilitate the agency's work and achieve its objectives.
The committee's decisions will be submitted to the National Committee at the Ministry of Agriculture for approval. Once approved, the regularized land files will be implemented, and landowners will be able to benefit from the improved investment opportunities and enhanced protection of their properties. The Bizerte region is expected to see significant progress in land regularization efforts, contributing to the country's agricultural development and economic growth.
