is a compelling opportunity. Farmland in the UK might seem to meet
these requirements, but it remains very overpriced, so the net returns are Over $12 million dollars invested in this project to date

 Why invest in Argentine farmland?
MILLETTEA GREEN OIL AUSTRALIA
Since 2007 all the previous investors
in the other phases of this project
have been paid on time for the
agreed amounts.
Total funds raised so far for this specific
project are over $12million / £7million
Within Argentina interest rates are extremely high; and, as elsewhere,
loan capital has all but dried up. Thus the sale of land to international
investors in this fashion is – despite the high payments – the best
form of finance.
Argentina is not a small country trying to be an agricultural producer
and exporter: it is already a big player in the field. It has the
infrastructure to do it, and has been doing it successfully for many
years. Argentina is in fact one of the world’s leading exporters, with
many countries relying on Argentine produce. Therefore with their
crops the farm can easily meet the repayments using investment
returned from the land under cultivation.
