Asunción, IP Agency.- The Institute of Rural and Land Development (Indert) will resume the titling work for the benefit of producers settled in the Colonia Santa Teresa, in the district of Aba’i, in Caazapá.
The president of Indert, Francisco Ruiz Díaz, accompanied the process of electing new authorities of the Colony’s Promotion and Development Commission and announced the work with the new authorities for the titling.
Ruiz Díaz reported that these families did not obtain title to their lands in 2015 due to a problem with another group of farmers and a complaint filed then before congressmen that they were foreign settlers.
They have surnames that are not very common in the country, but they are already Paraguayans, with a Paraguayan ID, hard-working people settled on plots of between 7 and 10 hectares in size, stated the head of Indert.
There are more than 300 families on the lands where the titling processes had already begun. On the other hand, there are about 90 families in another place that also claim the title. Part of this last group is demonstrating in front of the Indert headquarters in Asunción, the institution reported.
«The claim is due to the fact that the government had promised them the recovery of the power of other farmers to hand over this group, a promise that had not been fulfilled and is difficult to fulfill, because they are also farmers who have been settled in the place for years. , working the land,” as Ruiz Díaz explained.
To provide a solution, Indert is working on distribution to the group that was promised agricultural lots and advancing the land titling process to those who are in the agricultural lots.
He pointed out that the solution to this problem in Aba’i is also a priority of the Senate, which will accompany the process.
