The Agence Foncière Industrielle (AFI) will develop a new industrial zone in Ras El Marj, in the governorate of Monastir. Spanning 39 hectares and designed to accommodate up to 53 companies, this zone will be equipped with all necessary infrastructure, from access roads to electricity and water networks. The total investment amounts to €6.9 million, of which €3.59 million is financed by the IFE. In the long term, this project is expected to generate approximately 1,229 jobs.
