Estimados interesados, me jubilé de la actividad de venta inmuebles.
Dear page visitors, I retired for the time being from my real estate activity.

Investment in farmland has become more mainstream compared to 10 years ago and farmland valuations rose quite strongly in most parts of the world since 2004, as they did in the countries mentioned here.

Operational farming returns have risen substantially, too, but still less then land prices. As of end of 2014 one can expect 2,5-4,5% operational returns on (land-)investments in Uruguay, 3,5-7% in Paraguay. As comparison, returns in the US may be around 3% (as stated in this Forbes article), operational returns in Western Europe typically being around 2%.

return through appreciation of farmland in Uruguay and the Paraguay Chaco was in the range of an accumulated 500 – 700 % in the decade to 2014.

Farming in southern South America is in an earlier state of modernisation and intensification, having more upward potential then their first world counterparts and are not relying on state subsidies.

Uruguay has a rather European culture and rather stable political, juridical and social framework, geographically being part of the Pampa Humeda, the temperate climate macro region with roughly 1.200 mm of rainfall rather evenly distributed annually and often with black rich agricultural soils, similar to the Prairie States of the US Midwest.
Paraguay is a country with weaker rule of law, but offering, especially in the Chaco, lands of very attractive price/value ratio. Climate and soils correspond to the tropics.
For the time being we discontinue offering properties in Argentina unless they feature historic architecture.
