New Zealand (NZ)New Zealand is our initial investment focus by way of the AE NZ Farmland Investment and a country where agricultural production is one of the major industries, accounting for 50% of all merchandise exports. New Zealand is a water rich country with a remarkable diversity of climate and enterprise within a relatively small area. This makes it ideally suited to the creation of well balanced diversified farmland portfolios. It has been described by the Wall Street Journal as the Saudi Arabia of milk and is responsible for 33% of global cross border traded dairy products. NZ is also the world’s largest exporter of lamb and venison and all of its protein production systems (dairy, lamb, beef, deer etc) are pastoral systems ie grass based and not cereal based feeding. This makes NZ farming systems less susceptible to rising cereal prices (input cost) which is further strengthened by conversion to organic status, which materially reduces exposure to fertiliser (a fossil fuel by-product) cost. As a farmland investment destination New Zealand offers established and robust infrastructure, a transparent/secure land law system, and a stable democratic political environment. From a farmland investment perspective New Zealand represents the highest levels of excellence.
