Why emerging markets?

Strong potential for capital gains due to low land prices

  • even in well developed and agro-sector focused nations like Uruguay land prices are much lower than in Western Europe
  • relations of land prices between the regions where we operate and Western Europe range between 1:5 and 1:20

New technologies enable control on far distances

  • daily communication at very low costs
  • rapid exchange of information
  • global uniform standards of information and control

Competitive advantage

  • lower costs of production
  • large and rounded plots allow most effective production

Reduction of subsidies and trade barriers

  • growing pressure on US and EU to reduce trade barriers and subsidies
  • new export opportunities for formerly excluded producers

Rapid increase of productivity

  • unfolding of competitive advantages
  • catch-up effects and know-how transfer
