March 2019

In January 2019, Verdant released its annual Agribusiness M&A and Investment Review which featured summaries of observations and expectations for key trends in our sector. Over the course of the year, we will provide full reports on several of those summarized topics. This segment features local perspectives from Felipe Lanusse and Luis Casanova on the growing opportunities for agriculture in South America.

Luis Casanova, Advisor

With vast land availability, rich water resources, and a relatively small population, the South American continent will remain a critical and growing region for agriculture in 2019. We foresee continued growth for competitive enterprises involved in the biological inputs, crop genetics, commodity row crop, niche tree crop, and produce markets. Limited capital availability in South America remains a challenge for small-medium size companies, with capital needs ranging from R&D funding to incremental working capital to support growth and investment projects, namely processing facilities. Financial and strategic businesses that utilize a local approach and a professional search process will benefit considerably from the unique investment opportunities in the region.
