Investors Traditional Western food-producing, processing, and exporting companies seeking to increase market share Capital-rich / food insecure Land and water scarce populous but capital-rich (Asian countries, Gulf States - China: 20% of world pop / 9% of world arable land) New actors – Outside of agriculture (financial sector, …) Direct gov. involvement Sovereign wealth Funds State-owned enterprises Avoiding markets Hedge funds, Pension funds Invest banks Asset management comp Diversifying portfolio/ speculation Private investors

7 land investment models in Africa Independent farmer model Associative farmer model Cooperative farmer model Speculative 1000-day model Asset management and Investment funds model Nucleus estate model Agribusiness Estate model High failures Increased integration Few inclusive models Adaptation strategies

Non-land investment models and “Production” grabbing Commercial banks engagement in primary agricultural production Agricultural engineering/asset management companies Investment/equity funds High cost of productive, competitive agricultural production (Increase of debt - Input prices increase - the land is not enough as collateral) - no collateral Internalisation - The production is never owned by farmer Price risk - managed through hedging on futures markets (SAFEX) Production risk (flood, drought…) is covered by the multi-peril insurance & geographical/commodity diversity Lowering transactions costs Speculation

A complex and inter-dependent environment … Drivers LT Demographic Change in diet and energy use MT Food production Biofuels Industrial production Forest/fibre production Ecosystemic Services/Tourism Speculation Triggers Food price crisis Facilitators -Land governance -Democratic governance -Economic governance and market regulations -Crisis of family farming (the perception thereof) A GOVERNANCE PROBLEM (not an investor one only) DOMESTIC land acquisitions
