Land acquisition frameworks across key African markets are becoming increasingly transparent and predictable, creating clearer pathways for Indonesian companies establishing operations on the continent. These improvements are particularly evident in manufacturing, agribusiness, and real estate sectors.
Notable developments include Ghana’s modernized land registry system, Ethiopia’s reformed industrial land allocation process, and Rwanda’s streamlined special economic zone leasing framework. These changes are significantly reducing previously common challenges including title disputes, regulatory uncertainty, and processing delays.
Particularly important for Indonesian investors are improved frameworks for foreign land utilization rights in previously restricted markets including Tanzania, Zambia, and Uganda, creating new possibilities for agricultural and manufacturing investments.
“Land acquisition has historically been a significant challenge for foreign investors in many African markets,” notes Emmanuel Okafor, Land Rights Specialist at ProSpace Indonesia. “Recent reforms in key countries have created much more predictable processes, though careful due diligence remains essential.”
