Macquarie 9: Agrar DirektInvest provides investors with the opportunity to indirectly invest in agricultural businesses in Australia as an attractive location for agricultural investment in real assets such as land and the water licenses necessary for its cultivation.
In this respect, the portfolio will be diversified not only with regard to the agricultural products, but also in terms of regional distribution. Macquarie 9: Agrar DirektInvest will operate grain and dairy farms, an almond plantation as well as a winegrowing business in different regions of Australia. Offtake agreements with minimum and fixed prices will be concluded for part of the agricultural products in order to reduce the price risk.
An investment in Macquarie 9: Agrar DirektInvest provides investors with the opportunity to participate in the expected increase in the demand for food as well as in the chance of an increase in the value of land and thus to receive attractive distributions and positive returns.
Other positive aspects of the investment include:
- Favourable geographical location of Australia as an agricultural country: proximity to Asian emerging markets and favourable climate conditions
- Environment: stable legal and political framework, developed infrastructure and access to Anglo-Saxon sales markets
- Economies of scale: through the efficient use of capital, personnel and machines; interesting partner for offtake agreements
- Industrialisation of planting: modern irrigation, planting and operation methods and lower personnel expense
