Despite our efforts, our dataset remains incomplete. Not only is data constantly evolving, but verifying basic data (such as deal size, location, investors involved, and terms of the lease agreement or contract) can be challenging, with different sources providing conflicting information. In fact, even the very existence of a deal is sometimes difficult to prove. The opaque nature of land acquisitions imposes certain limits on the data-gathering process. Find out more about these limitations in our frequently asked questions (FAQs).
Do you have information about land deals in your country that we can add to our database? Can you confirm or update information we already have?

To ensure quality and prevent duplications, a deal has to have information on the following minimum criteria in order to be added to the database:
