THE AGRICULTURAL CONCESSION CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK AND LEGAL EFFECT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Agricultural concession is an essential mechanism for exploiting agricultural lands belonging to the state's private property. It is an administrative contract under the exclusive jurisdiction of the state. In this regard, the Algerian legislator has issued several legal texts regulating the agricultural concession contract, the most important of which are Law 10-03, which defines the conditions and modalities for exploiting agricultural lands of the state's private property, and the Agricultural Guidance Law 08-16. These legal texts collectively establish that the concession contract is the only means by which agricultural lands of the state's private property can be exploited.
This article aims to study the agricultural concession contract in terms of its concept, as well as the rights and obligations it entails for both the state and the investor holding the concession right.
