Macquarie is one of a small group of banks whose exposure to agriculture extends beyond providing commodity derivatives products or investment banking services and on to the farm itself. Its Agricultural Funds Management business owns and operates 3.2 million hectares of farmland across dairy, sheep, cattle, horticulture, forestry and wine estates, mainly in Australia, and oversees more than $1 billion in investments.
Another bank active in the sector is Renaissance Capital, which, through a venture called Ukrainian Agrarian Investments (UAI), operates 235,000 hectares of land in the east European country.
