As you know, the Chaco was and is one of the more accessible of the world and which is excellent for livestock ed because their soils are rich in minerals. And eastern agrologicamente excellent for the production of cereals and oilseed where excessively high prices have experienced in the last three years.

Many people wonder why they should invest in Paraguay, the main reason behind this is the target market which is very attractive. Fields of the East and West Regions totaling some 40 million hectares of these represent almost 70% to 80% of the arable land in Paraguay.

Compared to other places in the prices of agricultural land, the Paraguay has annual rainfall that meet the agronomic requirements, compared to Australia and Africa where residual soils are selling and where no water or rain, Paraguay has one of the soil most fertile in the world. Our Country, no restrictions on foreign sovereignty only by a foreigner can not buy at 50 km from the border in a personal, so structured to make the purchase with a corporation, therefore, you can buy a farm where want.

Earlier this decade, the main concerns were about the reconstruction and energy. However, things have taken a different course and concern has shifted to food and water. The cost of wheat, soybeans, corn, meat and other crops from the fields of Paraguay are increasing, but offers the lowest prices of agricultural land in the whole of

South America. This makes the regions of Paraguay as attractive for investors from around the world. Today investors can get better opportunities to buy farmland in Paraguay, no worries.

Farmland is an attractive long-term investment that offers current income and capital appreciation, as a hedge against inflation and diversification favorable and is negatively correlated with traditional asset classes. With the development of capitalism, is constantly increasing the price of land, which is due, firstly, to the tendency of the rate of interest and on the other hand, the increase in land rent in all respects . The income growth, in turn, is conditioned by the growing demand for agricultural products and the expansion of cultivated land surfaces. The rising price of land means that productive consumption is subtracted growing part of goodwill, some landlords do not use it productively. In fact, since the end of World War farmland in the United States has experienced a steady increase in value every year, but four (1983, '85-'87). Most investors have experienced painful falls in the value of their portfolios lately, but those who have an assignment on agricultural lands benefited from lower volatility and positive returns to offset losses from other asset classes.

RATIONALE FOR INVESTING

Current Income

Lands revenues have consistently produced agricultural product sales between 15% and 25%, depending on the climate and the international prices of commodities, as well as agricultural income.

Capital Appreciation

An important component of the total return on farmland is capital appreciation. As the demand for agricultural products increases and the supply of arable land suitable for agriculture decreases, there is a significant increase in the value of agricultural land.

Inflation Hedge

The land has a positive correlation with inflation and is considered a classic hedge against inflation. In fact, many investors see as more favorable than other tangible assets like gold, because farmland produce a positive cash flow while protecting the harmful effects of inflation.

Diversification

The Farmland negatively correlated with traditional asset classes like stocks and bonds, and is just a little correlated with commercial real estate. This provides the stability of the portfolio during volatile markets while improving risk-adjusted return of a portfolio.

FUNDAMENTALS FAVORABLE

It predicts good benefits in land investment, macroeconomic fundamentals are favorable and are about to increase farmland values in the coming years.

The demand for food

The world population continues to grow and is projected to increase from the current 6.7 billion to more than 9 billion in 2040. This increase in population will require increasingagricultural production for food bastecer. In addition, as incomes rise in emerging markets with large populations, there will be greater demand for a better diet which usually means more meat. The raw meat requires more grain compared to grain for direct human consumption. For example, one pound of beef requires seven pounds ofgrain feedstock and a pound of chicken will need two pounds of grain.

The demand for alternative energy

Increasing awareness of global warming has led to an increased demand for alternative energy sources, and the owners of agricultural land are in a unique position to benefit from this development. Currently, the raw material for biofuels in the United States is corn and soybeans for ethanol biodiesel production. The efficiency of corn-based ethanol is improving exponentially as revealed in a recent study published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology. Over time, the technology will allow the addition of cellulosic biofuels made from millet, corn stalks or other fibrous raw food, but still needed farmland and farmers to plant, maintain and harvest alternative crops. Moreover, the recent interest in wind energy will lead to increased demand for land to locate wind turbines.

The supply of arable land, able to provide all the optimal factors for agricultural crops is limited, and in Paraguay supply is shrinking. In addition, global supplies of fresh water for agricultural production are being rapidly depleted. The technological advances that allow for higher yield of existing farmland helps the imbalance between supply, but these advances also increase income per acre of existing farmland and therefore increase its value.

VARIOUS INVESTORS IN A S.A. (Inc. Plc)

In the event that individual investors do not have enough capital to buy a farm Farmland Partners SA Paraguay has as collective investment strategy through Anónimas Company, where different investors contribute capital to the SA as shareholders, and once that integrates the necessary capital for the purchase of an estate, investment takes shape

Each investor shares in the revenue generated by these exploitations, and the appreciation of the properties "value proportional to the amount of their capital investment. The benefit to investors is that they share the benefits of a diversified portfolio managed farmland provides unbiased high current income, significant growth and low correlation to traditional asset classes.

Apart from financial models, how to evaluate the quality of a land?

We look at the soil types, soil slope, height, percentage of acres arable and design fields. We try to maximize acres arable and buy farms with minimum slope because these issues are incorrigible. However, we advise purchasing farms in different soil types and elevation, as they can still be productive farms, is just a matter of the price you will pay to buy and what to produce income.

How do you determine the quality of soil, crop type most appropriate for the country, and the potential efficiencies that can be achieved?

We examined soil data at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences gives the percentage of all soils we carry, analyzing its ability to yield of corn, soybean and wheat.

If grain-producing land, or livestock production fields to have a positive, why they decide to sell it?

Rarely a farmer bought existing properties. Generally we are buying agricultural land of the widow or other relative who has inherited and has no interest in agriculture, of the successors, of people who have been adjudicated during the Stroessner dictatorship of former Rural Welfare Institute (IBR) Institute of Rural Development today (INDERT). that until now are unproductive, they have acquired bargain prices, and are now offering to market price, that with our sound advice the investor can buy at undervalued. It is an generational shift that is occurring and that time is running out agricultural land ownershipthat this beginning to focus in large enterprises.

What do you think global macroeconomic factors are driving the demand for raw materials and agricultural land?

There are four global macro events occurring, which led us to invest in farmland originally and are still driving factors: (1) "demand" for food from the growing middle class in Asia and emerging markets, (2) the biofuels, (3) the depletion of arable land for agricultural production, and (4) resurgent inflation .... in this order. Experts in the field of commodities underestimate the global demand for food and will increase grain exports South America. The growing middle class in emerging economies want to eat like Americans as people improve their standard of living, one of the first things they want to do is improve your diet which means eating more protein. 0.91 It is intended kilograms of grain to produce 1 kilo of chicken, 1.81 kilograms of grain for every 0.45 pounds of pork and 3.18 kilograms of grain to produce 1 kilo of beef. China is already the largest consumer of pork and soybeans in the world, it also became a net importer of corn in May 2008. Moreover, as the dollar weakens against the Chinese yuan, our exports are cheaper in local currency and Chinese demand will increase our food products.

What if the ethanol is no longer pushed by the U.S. federal government and is replaced by natural gas or electricity?

A: Ethanol is just one alternative energy source that is needed to satisfy global demands for energy expansion. Corn-based ethanol is not the panacea for our energy needs, but also has positive attributes of the press has focused in recent times. For example, ethanol produces a byproduct, barley grains, a high protein source and the remaining animals were used to feed cattle, but rarely included in the economics of ethanol. The efficiency of corn-based ethanol is improving exponentially as time passes, that is revealed in a recent study published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology. As time passes, the technology will allow the addition of cellulosic biofuels made from millet, corn stalks or other fibrous raw food, but still needed farmland and farmers to plant, maintain and harvest alternative crops.

How to decide to pay for agricultural land prices?

In general terms Paraguay Farmland Partners SA pay less land per hectare than other farms in the same areas. This is due to the fact that the properties are often brought to our attention by our network before they are officially listed with a real estate agent. Finally, sometimes we buy a large tract of farmland to a lower overall cost compared to someone who is willing to pay a higher price for a small plot inside this the same, a concession is granted to the purchaser to large scale through our strategy of integrating collective investment in capital and shareholder of a SA (Inc.Plc) that has the same objective for all investors.

Investors are buying Paraguay portfolio fields Farmland Partners.

Investors are buying existing diversified portfolio of Paraguay Farmland Partners SA properties that currently consisting of over 100,000 ha and sprawling with each new investor and each offer received.

What is the objective universe invertible in the land? It's just the largest lands an appropriate setting for this type of portfolio?

The objective universe consists of millions of hectares of primordial farmland in Paraguay. We continue our acquisition strategy, which is buying with values ​​ranging from 100 ha farms more than 1,000 ha. The attractive land acquisition opportunities are not limited only to larger farms. We see no problem of capacity in terms of the potential agricultural investments or acquisitions. Our relationships and reputation building and habilitation in the Paraguayan Chaco and partners allows us to gain access to a growing number undervalued the best offers for buying opportunities farmland.

Can you explain what happens in tax matters, if the value of assets wise increases each year, but no withdrawals?

Investors are not exposed directly to the treasury, since they incorporate the SA (Inc. Plc) and this face as a legal entity tax liability if the land use is affected by the IMAGRO (income tax farming) by use of capital, labor and land, and if the land is leased, is taxpayer IRACIS stays Income Tax Industrial and Commercial Activities Services generally will be income tax liability for a year for the lease, but there are some things such as depreciation of irrigation equipment and other improvements that will serve to reduce tax liability, there are many deductible expenses provided by law 2421/04, which our team will take care of qualified public accountants for that matter. The gains from the appreciation of land value may be taxed only when the property is sold and this will generally be capital gains in the long term, considering that in Paraguay the transfer amount is 1.5% of the fiscal value established by the Ministry of Economy and is the lowest in the region and not to corde market value and is compared infima normally transfer amounts is undervalued so avoid paying high taxes, attention is "avoid" is not that to "evade" this because the law provides so. For example:

10,000 hectares in Alto Paraguay (Chaco)

market value of $ 4,000,000

taxable value established by National Registry of the Ministry of Economy U.S. $ 150,000

Transfer tax is paid over U.S. $ 150,000, because that's what they normally do appear in the title, but if the investor wants to figure the amount of the market value will pay about U.S. $ 4,000,000

 But here's our grand strategy, as the field stay or buy on behalf of the SA (Inc. Plc), and the sole object of the SA is the investment in land for subsequent sale, sold 100% of the shares, and the farmland is transferred including the SA at the hands of new investors, so our sale will be more competitive in a few decades when it decides to sell, the new buyers as a society will have available, and we project that by then the ministry of economy and update its price to the values market, if it will be higher then the amounts payable by the transfer, and also with the removal and sale of the SA, the initial investor will put another higher price to the SA for its age, path, name and key, which will be additional income and amortize their initial outlay.

Beyond this brief summary, investors may speak, consult with our lawyer / tax advisor at no charge.

Can you produce a significant decrease in the value of farmland? What is the probability that this decrease will occur?

The value of land is directly affected by the amount of income that can be produced on that land. Currently the supply of soybeans and meat and demand is in favor of farmers, ranchers and landowners, and foreign demand for food and domestic demand are out of stock, they will support or apply upward pressure on prices in the coming years. However, if nothing dramatically alters the balance of supply and demand, which will impact on land prices. For example, if latent protectionist rhetoric is increased to a point where international trade is affected materially, then this could cause a disruption in demand that could lead to a decrease in agricultural land values​​. But this situation of low probability and even if it does, a drop seen in mid-1980 is not expected because farmers are in a much better position economically with low levels of debt.
