Why Invest? - Agricultural Commodity Market

Increasing number of institutional investors are finding ways of benefiting from rising agricultural needs.

Worlds population is growing at an astonishing pace. Figures from the US Census Bureau indicate that the number of people on the planet exceeded 6.75 billion in January 2009, and the population is increasing by almost 80 million every year. Thats approximately 150 more mouths to feed every minute

In India and China; beef and chicken consumption has quadrupled since the mid 70s and is still growing rapidly meaning changing appetites further increase the pressure on food prices, and the wheat needed to feed the animals which produce the meat

Due to increasing levels of urbanisation, and the shortage of water associated with this, the arable land available is shrinking

Demand for agricultural produce, whether this is wheat crops for food, or wheat crops for animal feed, continues to grow, while supply remains naturally constrained

The business of feeding the world is becoming bigger and bigger business. This has pushed it to become a major investment theme which should have a place in all investment portfolios

As this progresses, the countries which produce crops in large quantities will become among the most sought after locations for investors, producing an asset for which demand

Yields and Exit Strategy

As we all know food production has hit an all time low. So it is no surprise that funds are capitalising on this and have invested more than $8 billion into the global agricultural sector.
Harvest yields will be paid to each investor per annum after first harvest /crop. The investor will receive 30% of the NET profit, whilst accumulating a significant growth in the land value per year. After 5 years the complete site will have achieved optimum capacity. Producing 8 metric tonnes of grain per hectare, with a growth in the land value of 28% per annum ( KNIGHT FRANK ). We already have received interest from institutional funds to offer a buyout on the completed project.

Statistics

Current price of wheat is US$ 247 per metric tonne ( June 2009 ). This is predicted to rise to US$ 270 by July 2011.

Crop harvesting yields in the Ukraine are projected to grow from 3.5 metric tonnes per hectare to 8 metric tonnes per hectare. This also increases the value of the land at a rate of 28% per annum.

( Also providing one of the strongest levels worldwide ).

70% of all Ukrainian land is arable. The Ukraine holds 40% of all the planets rich black earth soil.

Ukrainian arable land prices are suppressed heavily at just US$ 1,500 per hectare, compared with Western Europe- US$ 13,200-32,200 per hectare. Providing a huge growth potential for Investors.

Higher soft commodity prices and lack of supply are contributing to food shortages, Increasing demand for grain.

World bio fuel production - High Oil prices and a need for energy independence have led to a strong pursuit for bio fuels. Energy crops such as wheat and rapeseed are in high demand.

Basic fundamental - Humans need to eat, so soft commodities such as wheat, barley, corn and sunflower will always be in high demand. Demand currently outweighs supply.

Ukraine's economic situation has resulted in the land price being significantly lower then other arable crop producing countries, Such as; ARGENTINA ( US$ 4,400-7,800 per hectare ), USA ( US$ 4,500- 28,000 per hectare ), WESTERN EUROPE ( US$ 13,200-32,200 per hectare )

Ukraine is geographically placed at the cross roads of central European and Asian trade routes. So is strategically an ideal platform for exportation both Russia and Western Europe.
Ukraine land prices are substantially low and KNIGHT FRANK forecast that the Ukraine's agricultural land price will double from US$ 1,500 per hectare. It will increase by 28% per annum thereafter. (Knight Frank April 2009)
