The year 2024 will have been one of all records for the National Agency for Land Conservation, Cadastre and Cartography (ANCFCC). This is evidenced by the figures presented during its board meeting, held this Wednesday, December 25 under the chairmanship of Ahmed El Bouari, Minister of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development and Water and Forests, in the presence of Abdellatif Loudiyi, Minister Delegate in charge of the National Defense Administration.
Presented by the director general of the agency, Karim Tajmouati, these indicators say a lot about both the performance of the ANCFCC, the all-out modernization of its operation and the extent of its contribution to the state budget. For the year 2024 alone, this contribution was 6 billion dirhams.
This year, the ANCFCC established some 373,000 new land titles and successfully registered the land of 1.1 million hectares. More than 2 million digital property certificates have also been issued. All for a turnover of around 9.2 billion dirhams.
