The Navarre public company has been selected to provide cartographic creation and data processing for a 120,000 square km area in Ecuador. The amount of the tender makes this cartographic project one of the biggest in the world in 2013

Tracasa has been selected for the lots I and II, through its joint venture with the Spanish company NIPSA, of the tender organized by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to provide cartographic creation and data processing for a 120,000 square km area of the country during 2014 for USD 17.5 million.

The aim of this project, developed by the Ecuadorian Government with the Inter-American Development Bank, is to implement an efficient cadastre and rural land registration system in the country.
