More than 2,500 farmers have applied for title deeds since the land tenure security programme began in February, with US$74 million raised so far.
Launched by President Emmerson Mnangagwa in December last year, the initiative is progressing steadily. On Tuesday, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, Professor Obert Jiri, visited the one-stop centre in Harare, where he expressed satisfaction with the process.

To ease access, the government is decentralising the process to all provinces, reducing the need for farmers to travel long distances to Harare. Banks have also joined the initiative, offering financial support through mortgage arrangements.
More than 12,000 farmers holding 99-year leases are eligible to apply for title deeds, while others can organize surveys in groups to qualify.
