The Tunisian region of منوبة has announced a decision to lease two state-owned farms to local companies for integrated farming projects. The companies, منوبة البيّة and أرزاق, will lease the farms in the regions of المرناقية and طبربة for a period of time. This decision was made during a working session held under the supervision of the regional governor, محمود شعيب, and in the presence of the General Director of the ديوان الأراضي الدولية.
The two companies were selected from a list of applicants after completing the necessary procedures. منوبة البيّة, a regional company, was chosen to lease a 668-hectare farm in المرناقية, while أرزاق, a local company based in طبربة, will lease a 142-hectare farm in برج التوتة. The companies were established in 2023 and 2025, respectively, and have been working to develop their business plans for integrated farming projects.
The decision to lease the farms is part of a larger effort to support the development of integrated farming projects in Tunisia. The Ministry of State Property and Land Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources, and Fisheries have been working together to identify suitable farms for leasing to local companies. The goal is to promote sustainable agriculture and support the growth of the sector.
The companies will be required to complete a few more steps before taking possession of the farms. They must agree with the ديوان الأراضي الدولية on the terms of the lease and pay any outstanding fees related to the current farming season. Once the agreements are in place, the companies will be able to begin their farming projects.
The two companies have expressed their satisfaction with the progress made so far. They see the leasing of the farms as a major step forward in their development and are eager to begin implementing their business plans. منوبة البيّة will focus on integrated farming, including fruit trees, crops, livestock, and eco-tourism, while أرزاق will specialize in farming activities, including planting fruit trees and raising livestock.
The region of منوبة is home to 27 initiatives to establish local companies, which are still in the process of completing the necessary procedures. The regional administration is working to support the development of these companies and promote sustainable agriculture in the region.
The leasing of the two farms is seen as a positive development for the region and for the companies involved. It is expected to create new opportunities for economic growth and job creation, while also promoting sustainable agriculture and food security in Tunisia.
