Welcome to Consortium Land!
A growing number of investors are turning to agricultural real assets for the first time and existing agricultural investors are increasing their allocation to the asset class. For those who take the time to fully appreciate the fundamentals driving the farmland investment trend, it becomes very clear why.
The demand for farmland will continue to grow for the foreseeable future, yet its supply is fundamentally limited. Agricultural assets are unique amongst resource investments in that, with the right management, they will continue to produce valuable commodities in perpetuity. They are an important component of the capital base of most large economies, yet constitute a tiny fraction of the average investor’s portfolio. This is despite having delivered superior risk adjusted returns over almost any time period compared to other asset classes.
In the coming decades the demand for farmland and the commodities it produces will exceed any other period in history by a significant margin.
Bespoke farmland investment services
Consortium Land possesses the experience, knowledge and resources to provide the full spectrum of farm investment and management services from initial consultancy, planning and due diligence through to acquisition, operation and disposal.
Pre-acquisition services
Designing an agricultural asset portfolio is a complex undertaking requiring a combination of skills both in investment and agricultural disciplines.
Acquisition services
Due diligence is an absolutely critical component of the agricultural investment process. When you’re buying a farm, you’re buying a business not just a property.
Management services
Firmly focused on profitable and sustainable farming, Consortium Land offers a range of management services to absentee landowners and investors.
An introduction for farmers
Although Consortium Land’s primary role is to help agricultural investors buy quality farms, most of the acquisitions we make also involve establishing long-term relationships with farmers.
