Client Investment Strategy

Big Lands Brazil has created a fund strategy for accredited investors (or equivalent), companies, and funds seeking long-term, consistent returns based on a conservative business plan in surging market of Brazil. This investment is designed as a trusted option to gain access to the emerging market of Brazil in a safe manner; truly unique in the marketplace. The investment is not designed to be creative in taking on unnecessary risk. Cattle ranching for the last 200 years has been a very stable and solid investment. Currently the world, with its increasing population and its increasing appetite for higher grade food products such as meat, has put as of 2011 the most pressure on the cattle industry and the prices of cattle. The market in Brazil has been exploding in growth as Brazil currently has the largest under-utilized land base for cattle and 90% of all the current cattle farms are not operated to maximize land usage. This brings a good opportunity for investors seeking to invest in cattle farms. Almost any and all investments in the industry will allow for a cattle farm to have improved margins and profits.
