Afghanistan Land Authority (Arazi)

 

Afghanistan means business, Arazi can get you started and here’s how

If you want to lease and invest in Afghanistan, your biggest problems are over. Arazi is the new transparent and high-tech agency, built on the most successful models from Western countries and Pacific Basin, helping you lease land for industry, farming or grazing.

The Government of Afghanistan owns approximately 6 million hectares of unused land. TheMinistry of Agriculture created the Afghanistan Land Authority(Arazi),to develop and implement a strategy to lease land for agricultural, agro-processing, and industrial purposes. Arazihas been given the responsibility to inventory all government-owned land, establish fair and transparent procedures for its leasing, and set up a one-stop window that makes leasing attractive to both domestic and foreign investors.

Arazi was initially established as a project in September 2010 and later on as a trusted autonomous entity aimed to remove major national economic constraints by improving access to governmental lands for commercial activities. The mandate of the authority is to coordinate its activities with the Afghan government, line ministries, donors and private sector organizations, to ensure that land needed for productive investment is made available in the country.

Via the means of a proactive and responsive authority, which will significantly ease the process of land lease and land use, the beneficiaries of this authority encompass:

  •  Afghan Population:directly through the increased access to government-owned land for lease and indirectly through activities promoting private sector development; 
  • International Investors:through access to governmental land for various legal business purposes; and
  • The Government of Afghanistan:through increased revenue and positive reputation via the means of successful land reforms;

With this understanding, Arazi will contribute to poverty reduction and to the creation of a secure and sustainable future for Afghanistan.

Experts at Arazi are ready to share data and discuss a wide range of investment opportunities in agriculture and agribusiness.
