In this era of uncertainty in many financial and real estate markets, investing in agricultural land at a global level makes sense. Because of the significant diversification benefits it provides investors with traditional commercial portfolios, investments in agriculture or arable land are playing an increasingly important role in the real estate acquisitions of many pension funds, insurers and asset management companies. Investment in farmland can provide consistent attractive returns and a potential continuing hedge against inflation with minimal risks. The returns are less volatile than those from other classes of assets and the correlation with conventional real estate is very low. Based on a strong long-term growth story, farmland is now a valuable commodity and a very compelling investment. 

However, quality arable land with access to water is in short supply. Countries with little ability to produce their own food like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Libya, South Korea and China, are in a rush to secure food supplies. In the near future, fertile soil will in some way become a strategic asset on par with other global resources such as oil and minerals. The main driving forces behind this are the ever growing population, dietary shifts in developing countries, and the impact of bio fuels.  Find out more >>
