We are talking about Private Equity fund, SWF and (last not the least) China Central Bank money behind this push it looks very reasoneable. Now that the wealth is land they want to hog it too! Consider please: The report confirms the increase in transactions on a large scale. In five years, investors have rushed to buy millions of hectares in Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Madagascar, and Sudan. Some examples are: ‘Saudi Arabia has invested $100 million for an Ethiopian farm where they hope to grow wheat and barley, adding to the millions of acres they already own in the war-ravaged country, as well as in neighboring Sudan. China, on the other hand, owns vast tracts of overseas land, mainly in Algeria and Zimbabwe, and one estimate suggests that more than a million ethnic Chinese farm workers will be living on the continent this year. Kenya and Tanzania have leased land while the Ugandans have been big sellers, allocating two million acres of land to Egypt for wheat and corn.’ But Brazil is a good bet check: Black Swan rides agriboom on top of AMZ amazonplc.com
