Why Invest in Australia
Australia has a solid track record of agricultural production and offers numerous crop options and significant risk management and diversification opportunities.
Australia is extremely well placed geographically to the emerging markets of Asia and with global food prices on the rise, investing in Australia offers direct advantages. Sovereign risk cannot exist side by side with food security, which makes Australia one of a handful of potential investee locations.
Some of these include:
- Negligible sovereign risk
- Historically sound economy
- Few barriers to international investment
- Stable political environment
- Few language barriers
- Strong legal and internationally aligned accounting systems
- World’s best practice (technology, agronomic, risk management etc) agricultural systems
- Near subsidy free operating environment (Australia is the low cost producer)
- Scale opportunities within a context of industry consolidation
- Clean, green image: virtually disease free, with outstanding bio security protocols
- Strong historical capital growth
- Extremely sound infrastructure and available skills
The strong supply demand drivers of finite amounts of land and a growing global population along with the excellent fundamentals of farmland as an asset class make agricultural investment through AAGIM an attractive investment prospect for large scale investors.
