President Rodrigo Paz announced that Bolivia's government plans to distribute more than 95,000 agrarian titles in the upcoming months, a move intended to bolster legal security for rural producers and stimulate economic activity. This initiative is part of a broader effort to regularize agrarian property across the country.

During his nine-month performance report, Paz stated, "We will deliver, between old and new, more than 95,000 titles in the coming months of management." The announcement encompasses both titles from ongoing processes and new property documents for rural families and producers. The government asserts that formalizing land ownership will empower individuals to develop productive activities and businesses with greater legal certainty, thereby strengthening rural economies and expanding opportunities.

— Rodrigo PazThe President announced the government's plan to issue a large number of agrarian titles.

This commitment was underscored on July 22 when Paz delivered 772 agrarian titles to producers in Chulumani, located in the Yungas region of La Paz. At that event, he stressed the importance of formalizing rural property, stating that these documents should enable families to produce and engage in economic activities without political constraints. "Land ownership must allow families to develop productive activities and generate businesses with legal security," he remarked.

An agrarian title, or "título ejecutorial," is the definitive legal document recognizing a person's right to own rural land. The National Agrarian Reform Institute (INRA) is responsible for issuing these titles after the relevant land surveying and titling processes are completed. The government's plan to issue over 95,000 titles aims to expedite this process, though the full impact will depend on the completion of necessary technical and legal procedures for each parcel of land.

The property of the land must allow families to develop productive activities and generate businesses with legal security.
