Investing in agriculture is worth it

Investing in agriculture is worth it

For someone who is just getting started in building their wealth, the sheer variety of investment opportunities can be intimidating. Should you go with what nearly half of the world does and invest in the stock market or invest in real estate and flip houses like you see on TV? Or should you just throw money from your paycheck into a retirement fund?

Everyone has to make that judgement for themselves but it is important to at least know you have options. One investing opportunity many millennials may not know about is the option to grow your wealth over the long term with agriculture.

Agriculture may not be at the top of your mind, and you may be left scratching your head at what exactly agriculture is. Agriculture is the science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool and other products. 

Everything you eat and drink, what you wear, and even the house you live in all connect to agriculture products.

Today, it is common for people to want to better understand where our food comes from. We are interested in how our food grows and getting to know who produces it. There is also a push for farmers to practise sustainable agriculture.

Sustainable agriculture meets the world’s current food needs without making future generations compromise to meet those needs. Investing in agriculture can allow you to have a closer connection with those producers, and learn more about our food system, which has an effect on our everyday lives.

Another benefit of agriculture investments is prioritising investments in farmland, which usually comes in handy later on.

Farmers across the globe will need to increase crop production by expanding the amount of farmland being utilised and by enhancing productivity on existing land. Farmland is truly the most important asset in the world. This is why considering ownership in farmland can be an extremely beneficial move. They do not make anymore of it!

There is no better asset to own than one that increases in value over time and keeps pace with inflation. What if you could invest in something tangible that produces worldwide benefits? 

Research proves that one of the last things people are willing to cut from their budget is food.

With continuous increase in the global population, agricultural products have a guaranteed market demand. 

It is projected that by 2050, the world’s population will likely increase by more than 35%. Consequently, to feed that population, crop production will need to double, and Africa is ideally said to become a premium food supplier.

We need to help the food sector scale-up and make the most of growth opportunities; hence, investing in agribusiness is the most profitable thing to do. 

Your investment provides capital for agricultural entrepreneurs to maximise their productivity and yields, and you help fund farmers access to inputs or the equipment they need to scale their produce as bountiful as possible.

Thus, investing in agribusiness is investing in something tangible that produces community/worldwide benefits.

Agriculture, when done the right way, has the ability to yield a plentiful harvest – even with just little investing done. Thus, agribusiness is a low volatility investment with high yield potential.

Investing in agribusiness is a strong and fruitful venture. It yields physical results that benefit the investor more than just financial gains. 

By investing in agribusiness, you are investing in the success of a community.
