Is This The Biggest Investment Opportunity Of The Century?

Orchard in the spring before almond blossoms.

Faced with an exploding world population and dwindling arable land, food production is without a doubt the world’s biggest supply-versus-demand crisis.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that agriculture production needs to increase by 70% in less than 30 years to meet the demand of an extra two billion people.

While this information might spell “crisis” for the average person… overseas property investors can read between the lines. They know that in the midst of crisis lies opportunity.

The agricultural real estate industry is perhaps the biggest investment opportunity of the century. Anyone who can get on the inside track stands to make serious profits.

That said, it’s never been as important to carefully select where to invest…

Targeting The Lucrative Health Foods Market

Alongside a growing demand for food in general, there’s a growing demand for plant-based health foods.

It’s within this lucrative market that I have identified a unique investment: the opportunity to own a parcel of almond trees at an established farm in Spain.

Why almonds? Because the global demand for almonds is booming.

“The world has consumed more almonds in the past 12 months than ever before,” according to industry experts.

The global almond ingredient market is projected to reach $16.9 billion by 2025, recording a CAGR of 10.5% in terms of value.

This corresponds to a change in consumption patterns. People are opting for organic, plant-based diets—especially alternative plant milk.

The plant-based milk market is expected to reach $47 billion by 2033. Almond-based milk holds about 40% of the global market revenue (while soy also holds 40% and rice, oat, hazelnut, coconut, and other milk alternatives make up the rest).

The United States is the largest almond-producing country in the world, with California at the lead…

But Spain is not far behind.

It boasts an ideal growing climate and soil. It’s also where I have negotiated a strong opportunity for overseas property investors to get in on the profits.

The Offer On The Table

Big money is flocking to agriculture ahead of the coming food crisis, but I’ve negotiated a deal that allows the average investor to get in for a fraction of the usual cost.

As I write we are negotiating a new deal on a limited number of parcels, which we’ll present at an online briefing next week to walk readers through this opportunity in more detail. Stay tuned for your exclusive invite.

You invest in a parcel of profitable almond-producing trees. Everything else—planting, crop management, harvesting, and sales—is handled by an experienced team of experts.

This investment is 100% turn-key.

Returns will land into your bank account like clockwork, year after year, without you lifting a finger.

What makes this investment so strong?

The developers have a track record, with similar projects in Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

At their farm in Spain, they have implemented innovative techniques that allow them to generate two-and-a-half times higher returns than traditional almond farms.

They have built their own processing factory, where the almond crop is processed and sold to domestic and international markets.

All of this adds up to better-quality produce and higher returns for us investors.

Another key factor in this almond investment is the water supply. This farm is ideally located in a region where the government already supplies more than enough water.

It’s all further supported by the use of advanced irrigation techniques. Plus, they have constructed their own reservoirs as an added measure of water security.

Add it all up, and our Spanish farm has an advantage in an already lucrative market.

This investment stands out for three additional benefits:

  • Global almond demand has boomed in recent years and is expected to continue to grow.
  • Advanced technology and farming methods, leading to two-and-a-half times higher returns.
  • A developer with years of experience and established contacts.

Why Now?

I’ve spent my career urging readers to diversify into real estate overseas, but I’ve never made the recommendation more urgently than I do right now…

There’s political chaos on the horizon for Americans, and with that comes social and economic upheaval.

Investors need a safe place to put their money right now. For me and my money, innovative farming projects are the best place for safe, diversified, and long-term cash flow.

With this almond investment opportunity, you’re buying into a well-established farm that has already paid out to earlier investors (including me).

When this project was first launched, parcels of land quickly sold out… And this time around, there’s a limited number of units available.

Keep an eye out for your invitation to my free webinar where you’ll learn more about the project directly from the developer and get access to any discounts on almond tree parcels currently available.

Stay diversified,

Lief Simon

Lief Simon has lived and worked in 7 countries on 5 continents and traveled to more than 75 countries. His real estate investment career began with a $5,000 down payment on a three-flat building in Chicago. Less than three years later, Lief sold the building for a leveraged return of 3,000%—$150,000 in profit after closing costs and commissions.

From there, he turned his attention overseas and has bought property in 24 countries including France, Croatia, Portugal, Ireland, Belize, Spain, Argentina, Cyprus, Romania, and beyond. Thanks to his decades-long career as a global property investor, Lief has built a multi-million-dollar portfolio that includes rental properties, significant land holdings, and 7 personal residences.

Lief has established residency in 3 countries and acquired a second passport from Ireland.

In 2008 Lief and wife Kathleen Peddicord made the most important investment of their lives—a 215-acre oceanside finca, known as Los Islotes. There, on Panama’s largely undiscovered Veraguas coast, they’ve installed underground electricity, water, and internet and built a forever family home that sits at the heart of their ultimate vision: a gold standard private residential community for those in search of a true safe haven escape.

Lief’s latest book, “Cowboy Millionaire—The New American Pioneer,” collects all the wisdom he has learned in three decades of living and investing outside America.

He offers advice on international diversification in his twice-weekly Offshore Living Letter and monthly Simon Letter dispatches. For real estate investment opportunities, check out his monthly Global Property Advisor service.

If you’d like to meet Lief in person, join him for one of our upcoming in-country conferences. You’ll find further details here.
