Changingtheperception
In our opinion:
• Shift is happening in Europe/US/Middle East who are starting to allocate more of their funds to Agriculture. Small % but it means big $$$.
• The most successful farmers in Australia are larger family operations who generate, on average, higher returns than their corporate counterparts. Around 60 to 70% of investment per year is provided directly by the owners of family farms (source ABARES). This flow of funds will likely provide great opportunities for investor-ready operations.
• We need successful fund managers bringing returns back to investors. This includes operational returns as well as long term capital growth.
• Models that replicate the success of the large, well run family farms and can achieve further scale will likely be attractive.
