Demand in farmland has increased as a result of the growth in the world’s population (there are approximately 150 more mouths to feed every minute). Add this to the desire for more land to produce biofuels, and demand for soft commodities is higher than ever before. However, supply remains stagnant. Production of grains is at a historical 30 year-low, and yet consumption continues to grow, hitting a record high of 35 million tonnes in 2008.
As a result, a significant gap between supply and demand has emerged. This gap in the market has attracted institutional funds who have poured £8 billion into agricultural land, despite the economic downturn. It is for this reason that Fair Deal Investments is excited to bring this agricultural investment opportunity in Ukraine to the market.
