Rural public infrastructure: why is it important?
As landowners or individuals interested in rural development, you are well aware that the value and functionality of a farm depend on more than just the land and the crops grown on it. Without a doubt, one of the most important factors in the valuation and use of rural property is the surrounding public infrastructure that provides access to it.
These are two problems that affect all communities.
Many communities currently face two major problems that directly affect farm development.
- Abandoned road network: There is a notorious lack of attention from the authorities. It is not uncommon to see poorly designed roads in a state of disrepair that were never intended for viable rural development.
- Lack of resources and continuity: With each new government, funds for road maintenance become scarcer. Preliminary projects are presented that are never executed and then forgotten, which prevents effective long-term planning.
direct impact on farm values
Imagine a property located in a remote area with poor access, particularly during the rainy season. No matter how much agricultural or tourism potential the property has, it loses market value. Not only that, but if there are no adequate roads, public services will not reach it. Without electricity, water, transportation or connectivity, who would want to invest in such a place? This neglect unfortunately generates a vicious circle of disinterest, disinvestment and progressive loss of value.
The value of a farm with good infrastructure.
However, when a farm has a public road that is in good condition and passable all year round, with access to essential public services, it is a different story. As you know, these properties not only maintain their value, but also tend to appreciate over time. They attract those who want to invest, live there or develop sustainable projects. Good public infrastructure allows farms to integrate into the country’s economic, social and productive life.
Call-to-action: demand structural solutions
Therefore, it is essential that you raise your voice as a community of producers and owners and demand decent, functional and sustainable infrastructure from the authorities. This is not just about improving roads; it is about creating opportunities, connecting areas and ensuring that each farm receives the recognition and development it deserves.
Public infrastructure development is not a luxury for farms; it is a basic necessity. When access and connectivity are adequate, farms can thrive, communities can integrate, and opportunities can flourish. You have the power to increase your property’s value and secure its future by demanding concrete changes.
