How Agriculture is the Best Investment for Creating Generational Wealth

When most people think about agriculture, their minds often drift to vast fields of crops like wheat, corn, or vegetables. However, there’s another form of agriculture that offers even greater potential for long-term income: perennial crops. Perennial crops are plants that live for more than two years and continue to produce yield season after season without the need for replanting. Unlike annual crops, which must be sown and harvested each year, perennials, such as fruit trees, provide investors with a reliable and consistent source of income over many years. This unique characteristic makes perennial crops a particularly attractive option for those [...]

Les politiques agricoles catastrophiques de l’Union européenne

Alors que l'Union européenne poursuit agressivement sa politique de zéro émission, poussée par des activistes écologistes fervents et un accent inflexible sur le changement climatique, les répercussions sur son secteur agricole deviennent catastrophiques. Combinées à des salaires élevés, des impôts oppressifs et des réglementations draconiennes, ces politiques forcent un nombre sans précédent de fermes à la faillite et à la fermeture. La colonne vertébrale de la production alimentaire de l'UE s'effondre, entraînant une augmentation fulgurante des prix des aliments et de l'inflation qui pourrait conduire à une pénurie alimentaire catastrophique. Le seul salut potentiel pourrait résider dans une augmentation des importations [...]

Organic vs. Natural – What You Need To Know!

The difference between Organic and Natural is as vast as the difference between a cat and a car. All of us want to eat as healthy as possible, but the advertising industry has been deliberately and un-ethically using the word "Natural" to describe its processed foods for some time, below Plantations International tries to shed some light on the topic for you. What is Organic? Organic is a legally defined system of agriculture which seeks to use ecological methods of production. Its goal is to learn from and mimic natural processes in order to produce the food we eat while also [...]

Special Report: China and The Global Garlic Market

OVERVIEW GLOBAL GARLIC MARKET China, by far the world's largest garlic producer, sets the conditions in the global market. Rumours about problems with the crop and possible losses are being taken relatively calmly by the international market, although there are reports that importers are monitoring their import flows more closely and importing more from other countries in order to avoid problems. Argentinian growers are struggling to maintain their position on the world market. Due to high costs and competition from other countries, they risk losing their capacity to compete. Israeli growers are frustrated about the import quotas, which only allow imports [...]
