Agricultural Investment

Land viewing in Sourth AmericaAgriculture represents enormous opportunity and becomes increasingly interesting for investors worldwide due to global development forecasts and the constant decrease of farmland. A lot of investors turning to agriculture understand that this is a very specific business which requires special knowledge and uppermost a lot of practical experience.

With its longstanding experience in development aid, agricultural consulting and practical farming including management of own farms, ABG offers a unique mix of knowledge and skills. We are committed to provide customised effective solutions to match our clients’ objectives through asset acquisition, portfolio management and farming.

Our approach is to provide a wide range of investment consulting services considering the global development concerns and opportunities to establish long term mutually beneficial partnership between investors, farming and agri-business and local communities.

Our international experience and deep understanding of global economic and political trends allow us to build and efficiently manage multinational investment portfolios. So far we have focused on investment opportunities in Germany, United Kingdom, Baltic States and Uruguay. Our services go far beyond farmland acquisition; we elaborate long term concepts to shape individual investment decisions and establish investment vehicles and international logistics to execute them.

The bottom line

Keeping in mind the global challenge to feed more people with less land, as well as significant increases which land value has demonstrated over time, investing in farming can seem like a good strategic move and an interesting opportunity to hedge one’s investment portfolio against inflation. ABG offers a wide range of services to guide an interested investor through the entire agricultural investment cycle. We work individually with every client to make farming more investor-friendly and to work out a strategy and investment vehicle that fits the specific needs either of private or institutional investors.Field works in Germany
