Jim Rogers : Farming has been a disaster for 30 years, Justin. The average age of farmers in America is 58 because it's been such a horrible business. The average age of farmers in Japan is 66. In Australia, it's 58. I could go on and on. In 10 years, those farmers are going to be 68 if they are still alive.

Jim Rogers sees opportunities in Sugar Coffee and Farming

Jim Rogers : Agriculture has been a horrible business to be in for the last 30 years but I see some good opportunities there as the world demands more food. Sugar prices are very depressed. Something like 75 per cent off their all-time high back in 1974. And coffee prices are also depressed. Farming is one of the few areas I am optimistic about.
You might think these sorts of commodities' values were peaking especially something as basic as rice given the demand for them but it takes a while for the markets to catch on.
If you don't feel confident enough buying the individual commodity there will always be an index or an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) that tracks it.

Fund Managers Should become Farmers the Future is Agriculture!

We are probably heading towards a world where the elite will be made of those who produce wealth , farmers miners workers , instead of those who speculate on the wealth created by others : broker fund managers bankers etc...the financial community is not going to be a great place to be in for the next 30 years or so , Jim Rogers puts it elegantly by saying : Let the bankers turn in their Lamborghinis and start driving Taxis , give them bonuses in toxic waste they created not in real money ... Jim Rogers also said many times that Farmers will be driving Lamborghinies , while Bankers will have to learn how to drive tractors ....and he adds Fund Managers Should become Farmers the Future is Agriculture

Jim Rogers on Farming and agriculture

Jim Rogers Recent Quote on Food prices and farming business

“If we don’t have people going towards farming and prices are going up, we are not going to have any food at any price”

Said Jim Rogers

Farmland investing in South America Real Opportunities

Agricultural Outsourcing

we know that Jim Rogers is very bullish on farming and agriculture in general , the following video presents the potential of farming investments in the Mercosur countries where there is still plenty of fertile and cheap land to grab , George Soros the co founder of quantum fund with Jim Rogers is already there , this should tell you something I guess , knowing how smart Soros is and always ahead of the trends ...although the video is geared towards potential investors from the sub Indian continents , it is full of very useful data and information about the Mercosur Farmland investing Brazil Argentina Chile Paraguay and Uruguay all have plenty of cheap fertile land to sell to foreign investors ...although the crisis is hitting worldwide the price of food continue to grow and are expected to explode with huge demand coming from two big developing markets China and India ...
Latin America farmland investment highlights:
Prices have fallen due to the global crisis; good entry point in 2009 for long-term investors.
Farmland Prices are even lower than those in punjab and tamilnadu
Productivity in Argentina/Brazil/Uruguay is three times compared to that in India, in the case of some crops like soy.
No unskilled labour problem since everything is mechanized and outsourced; 1000 hectare farm can be managed by 3 to 4 subcontracted workmen.
Use of latest agricultural machines and equipment; skilled agronomists and farm managers available.
No water problem.. South America has 20% of world freshwater reserves.
Logistics, warehouse and transportation world class
Clear land titles; low population density means no land squatters.
No limits on size of foreign land holdings.

Context:
India has been importing more than billion dollar worth soy oil and sunflower oil from south America every yr
India also buys wheat and sugar from time to time
India needs to invest in farmland overseas as it is doing in the case of petroleum fields. Issue of food security.
In India, population increases by 15-18 million every year, adding a new Argentina every 32 months, new Brazil every 10 years. Farmland area is diminishing due to expanding industry, commerce and residences
Contract farming - can grow soya, wheat,sunflower, peanut, beans and pulses, sugarcane, jatropha and take output to india in raw or processed forms
Food processing - setup/acquire oilseed crushing, fruit/vegetable processing facilities
Think Agricultural Outsourcing - just like India in software, China in hardware - South America in agriculture

Jim Rogers Farmers Will Drive Lamborghinis

Jim Rogers Says Farmers Will Drive Lamborghinis, Not Brokers
Jim Rogers, chairman of Singapore-based Rogers Holdings, talks with Bernard Lo about Rogers's investment strategy for the agricultural commodities market.
Rogers, speaking from Singapore, also discusses his outlook for China and U.S. economies and the global financial crisis. Jim Rogers co-founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros in the late 1970s and during the next 10 years, his portfolio gained more than 4,000%, while the S&P rose less than 50%. Jim founded the Rogers International Commodity Index, the Rogers - Van Eck Hard Assets Producers Index and the Macquarie and Rogers China Agriculture Index. Jim recently commented that “I’m convinced that farmland is going to be one of the best investments of our time. Eventually, of course, food prices will get high enough that the market probably will be flooded with supply through development of new land or technology or both, and the bull market will end. But that’s a long ways away yet.”

Jim Rogers always Bullish on China , Asia and Agricultural Commodities

Jim Rogers on CNBC : All the creditor nation of the world are in Asia now China Japan Korea Taiwan Singapore Honk Kong .The money is in Asia This is the Asian Century
I wouldn't call it the pacific century , I call it the Asian century..through history you barely see people say "let's go towards where the debtors are " the always say "let's go here where the money is " ...how to take advantage of this ? there is a lot of turmoils but the best way to preserve wealth is to make money , you can set and be defensive but if you go into cash , you might go into the wrong kind of cash , I mean if you went into the Icelandic krona three years ago and a lot of people did because the yields were so high , the essentially have been wiped out because of the currency collapse , and many currencies have collapsed, so trying to make money and doing it successfully is the best to preserve your wealth ...there is always great opportunities everywhere in the 1930s during the great depression there were people in America and in europe who made great fortunes and who laid the foundations for the Great Fortunes ...I want my little girls to grow up undestanding Asia and speaking mandarin chinese , I think the best skill for the people born in the years 2000 is to be fluent in mandarin and to know Asia that's gonna be a skill very usefull; in their life time ...Jim Rogers always Bullish on China and Agricultural Commodities ...Jim Rogers says " I am not the only person in the world realizing that we are running out of food , agriculture in China was ruined by Mao Tse Tong , now they are trying to revive agriculture , they have one billion three hundred million people to feed and cloth everyday they are trying to buy up farm land around the workd , they are smart people " ..and more

S&P Could Go To 50,000 said Jim Rogers

"It's a bear market rally. I was going to say I don't think S&P 500 will see new highs. But I have to quickly temper that by saying against the dollar because the S&P 500 could triple from here if they print enough money and the value of the US dollar collapses, then S&P could go to 50,000, Dow Jones can go to 1,00,000. Which is one reason why I am not shorting stocks right now. Because there is a possibility of this sort of a thing. There is a possibility that stocks could go through unheard of levels, but would be in worthless currency."
said Jim Rogers in an interview with The Economic Times of India
and he added :
Become a farmer. The world has tens of thousands of hotshot fund managers right now. If I am correct, the financial community is not going to be a great place to be in for the next 30 years. We have many periods in history when financial people were in charge, we had many periods when people who produced real goods were in charge — miners, farmers, etc. The world, in my view, is changing and is shifting away from the financial types to producers of real goods, and this is going to last for several decades as it always has. This may sound strange but it always happens this way. Ten years from now, it may be farmers who will drive the Lamborghinis and the stock brokers will drive tractors or taxis at best.
