Capital Alternatives: Sustainable investment in farmlands

In 2012, food security was one of the main issues in the developing nations because the cost of food in developing countries rose by more than 30% (as per the Food and Agricultural Organization of UN statistics), and it is believed the inventories are still uncertain and unpredictable.  On January 17 2012, the World Bank gave its reports on Global Economic Prospects 2012, which stated “the international food prices in the last few months were down from its peak of February 2011, but the food security is poorest, especially, in the Horn of Africa.”

The global weakening growth in big economies and the European debt further raised concerns in the African countries where the food prices reached a record level in 2011. Currently, about one billion of the world population goes hungry (as per UN estimates and the World Banks and International Monetary Fund) and volatility in commodity market is very high. 

Why to invest in agriculture?

Food is a global commodity and private sector needs to create prospects in food and agriculture. Some big investors are investing in agriculture and it remains attractive with international investors.

The global food prices created record averages in 2011 as per the statistics released by the Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) Food Price Index that was 228 points, 28 points more than the record created in 2008. The highest prices of food was in 2011 February when the prices hit 236 points and by the end of the year some of the commodities showed decline in prices due to good harvest and reduced demand.

The world market is highly complex and experts believe some of the causes for increase in food prices are

• Increasing consumption of meat, eggs and dairy products


• Scarcity of fresh water


• Soil erosion and climate change


• Consumptions of food in biofuel


• Increasing global population


• Extreme weather changes which devastated the crops


• Urbanization
