Analysing trends in agricultural investing and what the future may hold
This paper charts the development of capital market involvement in the agricultural sector, in particular the increasing prominence of farmland as a portfolio investment. Total institutional investment in farmland stands at between $30 and $40 billion globally, but the average institution still allocates less than 1% to the asset class. For an insight into the trends and investment considerations that might continue to drive the financialization of farmland in the future. Download this report.
Latest nationwide report on US farmland prices
According to the latest figures, the U.S. farmland bubble continues to inflate spurred on by historically low agricultural lending rates. Average US farm real estate values rose by 9.4% during the 2012-2013 reporting period. There are differences, however, at a state level and between different land types. For more detailed information on irrigated versus non-irrigated cropland and pastureland prices at a state-by-state level. Download this report.
US farm sector debt continues to balloon, but is the mood of lenders changing?
According to this report on trends in US farm lending, rising farmland values continue to contribute to higher farm real estate loan volumes. However, compared to the last reporting period, more agricultural bankers now expect farmland values to plateau in the coming months. Taken in conjunction with the recently more hawkish tone of the Fed, could this signal a slowdown in the credit fuelled farmland market? Download this report.

A thought provoking read for investors concerned about these issues and the public perceptions that surround them. Download this report.
How long can Australia and other low subsidy nations hold out?
As government subsidies to the agricultural sector continue to rise across the globe, the pressure to increase financial support for farmers mounts in countries with minimal subsidy regimes. Could this represent a mid-to-long-term opportunity for investors in regions such as Australia whose agricultural sectors currently enjoy almost no subsidy support? This report discusses how even China, which until recently, taxed rather than supported farmers, is the latest emerging market producer to jump on subsidies bandwagon. Download this report.
