Why to invest in agricultural land?
Agriculture is an integral part of the primary sector of the national economy of the Czech Republic. Its importance is not only in the production of food and other agricultural products, but it is also of great significance for the preservation of the cultural landscape and in the context of an ecological approach to the environment.
All crops characteristic of the country’s geographical and climatic location are grown in the Czech Republic. These include all the main cereals (wheat, barley, rye, oats and maize), sugar beet for sugar production, potatoes, oilseeds (rape), flax, hops, fruit, vegetables and vines. Livestock production in the Czech Republic is mainly cattle (for milk and meat), pigs and poultry.
The total area of the agricultural land fund of the Czech Republic is 4 269 000 ha (54,1 % of the total area of the country). Most of it is arable land, although its area is decreasing. On the other hand, the area of permanent grassland is increasing.
80 % of agricultural land is under agricultural lease. 75 % of landowners are individuals.
Development of market prices of agricultural land in Czech Republic
The agricultural land market in the Czech Republic is practically without major restrictions in the context of transfer of ownership to third parties. EU citizens can acquire agricultural land without restrictions. The fragmented ownership of land allows a large number of trades to be actively pursued even with a small area. All agricultural land intended for investment is leased to agricultural operators who farm the land. These operators are obliged to comply with legal standards relating to the protection of agricultural land reserves, the conduct of agricultural activities and compliance with environmental standards for sustainability and landscape development.
Agricultural land has a stable market price trend and is not subject to market price fluctuations like other assets (e.g. stocks, bonds, mutual funds, commodities, cryptocurrencies, residential and commercial real estate).
Sister company Agrární půdní fond s.r.o. (APF) was founded in May 2020 as a startup by a combination of an investor, a real estate broker and agricultural land traders in the Czech Republic. It is currently part of the APF GROUP, which primarily focuses on farmland investments.
APF is a real estate broker under the relevant Real Estate Brokerage Act with professional liability insurance of CZK 20 million.
APF has been entered in the list of persons carrying out asset management comparable to asset management within the meaning of Section 15(1) of the Investment Companies and Investment Funds Act, which is maintained by the CNB in accordance with Section 596(e) of the Alternative Investment Fund Act.
