4. YOUNG AND UNTAPPED Africa is still young with much untapped potential and a range of investment opportunities. The continent has a comparative advantage in agricultural production.

5. LOCAL KNOWLEDGE . The process for acquiring land for sustainable agriculture can be relatively cumbersome, time-consuming and elaborate for outside investors to handle. We forge successful public-private partnership through principled negotiations with local authorities, and in some cases chieftaincy which differs from each location, as local communities expect benefits that come with commercial operations. Involving traditional authorities while observing local business protocols earlier in the negotiation process ensures maximum opportunities for all parties. Mideco Group has established relationship with private, local, and government entities involved in land transactions ensuring investors successfully navigate the process of farmland investments

9. SELECTED COUNTRIES NET IMPORTIn order for Japan to sustain stable imports, overseas farmland investments, and maintaining good relationship with food exporters are vital to its food security.

10. The last four decades have seen a significant decline in Japanese agriculture resulting in the country emerging as a net food importer. According to MAFF, between 1960 and 2005 Japan’s food self-sufficiency ratio declined from 79 per cent to 41 per cent, and the percentage of farmers over 65 years old have increased from 10 per cent to 60 per cent. In order to achieve food security, Japan would have to maintain stable imports through overseas farmland investment.
