African Land
African Land’s project office is based in Sierra Leone’s capital Freetown. We have negotiated the purchase of 3,000 acres of prime rice farming land in Sierra Leone, West Africa on a 50 year lease (46 years still to run) on behalf of our clients Investment. At present the infrastructure of Sierra Leone means that the land we are offering is a minimum investment. The company’s management team has extensive experience operating in Sierra Leone which has allowed African Land to establish its own distribution for its rice production both through retail outlets and potentially through the United Nations World Food Programme.
This will help investors maximise their gross profits on each harvest whilst also assisting the population of Sierra Leone. African Land will utilise local labour to harvest the rice.
Why Choose Agricultural Land
If your portfolio is composed of traditional investments such as company shares or bonds, investing in agricultural land can help to add vital diversification – which can also help to control the overall risk within your portfolio.
Demand for the products that can be grown on agricultural land is extremely strong. Rice in particular is a very valuable commodity – we are providing you with direct access to the phenomenal potential of this market.
We Harvest – You Profit
Demand for rice globally is intense as the crop feeds around half the world’s population. We do not believe that the surge in prices of many soft commodities such as rice in 2008 was a one-off event, so in our opinion now is an ideal time to consider the potential of this market.
We will be using mechanised processes to maximise returns. We have chosen rice as it has low processing costs relative to many other crops, and has a relatively long shelf life. At African Land we will be looking to implement higher yielding rice variations, and the income generated by this farming will be paid to you annually.
Rice is also the main staple food in Sierra Leone. As a result, rice is an excellent choice of crop in terms of the potential returns that can be generated, and the capital investments required to farm and harvest it.
In Sierra Leone, rice production is far below the consumption requirement, which has led to huge levels of rice importation. Since 2002 when the civil war ended, things have changed significantly.
The UK remains one of the biggest supporters assisting Sierra Leone in building its way back to recovery, and we believe that the country is now ideally placed.
