Latin America farmland investment highlights:
Prices have fallen due to the global crisis; good entry point in 2009 for long-term investors.
Farmland Prices are even lower than those in punjab and tamilnadu
Productivity in Argentina/Brazil/Uruguay is three times compared to that in India, in the case of some crops like soy.
No unskilled labour problem since everything is mechanised and outsourced; 1000 hectare farm can be managed by 3 to 4 subcontracted workmen.
Use of latest agricultural machines and equipment; skilled agronomists and farm managers available.
No water problem.. South America has 20% of world freshwater reserves.
Logistics, warehouse and transportation world class
Clear land titles; low population density means no land squatters.
No limits on size of foreign land holdings.
Context:
India has been importing more than billion dollar worth soy oil and sunflower oil from south america every yr
India also buys wheat and sugar from time to time
India needs to invest in farmland overseas as it is doing in the case of petroleum fields. Issue of food security.
In India, population increases by 15-18 million every year, adding a new Argentina every 32 months, new Brazil every 10 years. Farmland area is diminishing due to expanding industry, commerce and residences
