Overview
- The government presented a centralized platform to list available farmland and match offers with demand, with the goal of boosting entry into agriculture.
- Listings will include properties owned by the central administration and plots from regional and local land banks that choose to participate.
- The plan establishes an agricultural land-transfer office and will be integrated into a forthcoming Family Farming law, according to ministry details.
- Tierra Joven will provide training and guidance on financing, transfer rules and taxation for rural property transactions to support viable projects.
- Officials frame the move as a response to aging farm demographics and access-to-land barriers, with the announcement coinciding with farmer protests over the EU–Mercosur agreement.
