Tenders Are Invited For Lease And Develop Agriculture Land

Tenders are invited for Lease and Develop Agriculture Land. Location: Nyagatare Deadline: Sunday, 18/10/2026 17:00 1. Introduction and Strategic Background Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Rwandas economy and a central pillar of its long-term development agenda under Vision 2050. The sector contributes approximately 23% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employs over 45% of the working-age population, and plays a critical role in export earnings and industrial development. Over the past two decades, Rwanda has achieved sustained growth in agricultural productivity through targeted public investments, including the Crop Intensification Program (CIP), irrigation expansion, land use consolidation, and input support systems. These interventions have significantly improved yields, strengthened food security, and enhanced rural incomes. Building on this foundation, Rwandas current development frameworks PSTA V (Strategic Plan for the Transformation of Agriculture Phase V) and NST2 (National Strategy for Transformation II) prioritize private sector-led investment, commercialization of agriculture, climate-smart production systems, and export-oriented growth. Rwanda as a Strategic Agribusiness Investment Destination Rwanda offers a compelling value proposition for agribusiness investors: Strategic location within East Africa, providing access to a regional market of over 120 million consumers, including proximity to high-demand markets such as the Democratic Republic of Congo Preferential trade access and growing logistics connectivity to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Stable political and macroeconomic environment with strong governance systems Business-friendly investment climate supported by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) Expanding air freight capacity enabling export of fresh agricultural produce These factors position Rwanda as a reliable and competitive hub for agricultural investment in Africa.

Land, Location and Technical Characteristics 3.1 Location Gabiro Agribusiness Hub is located in Nyagatare District, Eastern Province of Rwanda. 3.2 Climate Nyagatare is Rwandas premier destination for mechanized agribusiness, offering the countrys highest solar radiation levels and flat terrain ideal for large-scale production. While the semi-arid climate features lower annual rainfall than the rest of the country, this is effectively managed through a shift toward professional irrigation and climate-smart infrastructure. The consistent warmth and high heat units accelerate growth cycles for cereals and high-value horticulture, supporting the districts status as a top-tier producer. Ultimately, the region rewards investors who replace rain-fed reliance with data-driven water management and resilient post-harvest systems to capitalize on its significant scale. 10.
