Ukraine

Permítanme que, con tres informaciones, les exponga un nuevo y poco conocido argumento para explicar (o ayudar a explicar) la desestabilización de Ucrania y los acontecimientos derivados.

China has plans to lease about 10,000 hectares of agricultural land in Crimea, says Russian news agency ITAR-TASS.

Worldwide, farmland is a hot investment area, but it’s also controversial, opaque, illiquid and sometimes relies on local operation that presents a risk of fraud.

Danish-based Trigon Agri downplayed the risk to agriculture from Ukraine's crisis, saying it would probably herald a "better business environment".

Cargill has doled out $200 million for a stake in UkrLandFarming, Ukraine’s largest agribusiness holding, in a potentially far-reaching deal that sources said would see both groups partner up in future grain exports to China and other growing markets.

Le géant américain du négoce agricole Cargill a acquis 5% du premier producteur agricole ukrainien, Ukrlandfarming, comptant accroître les exportations vers la Chine de céréales de cette ex-république soviétique aux "terres noires" très fertiles.

Stockholm-listed Agrokultura said that it had received "interest" in its Ukrainian business, which harvested 69,100 hectares of crops last year.

Interest in farming from a new class of institutional investors — including hedge, endowment, pension, private equity and sovereign wealth funds — has surged.

With vast tracts of rich, black earth but antiquated infrastructure, Ukraine is attracting interest from Chinese companies hoping to meet their nation’s growing demand for grains and meat.

A deal signed between Ukrainian and Chinese authorities last month may impact up to 3 million hectares of prime farmland in Eastern Ukraine, a space roughly the size of Belgium.

Pour l'heure, il n'est pas question de pouvoir vendre ou acheter des terres agricoles en Ukraine, une question politique explosive.
