BEFL has processed the information on sale and purchase transactions for farmland in ownership and land lease assignment transactions in the central regions of Russia. Wide experience of BEFL in supporting such transactions for standalone agricultural companies and large holdings has facilitated the demanding and complicated process. Today BEFL has a unified price database for farmland in the regions of the Central Federal District, the Southern Federal District and the Volga Federal District for 2014-2015. Investors planning to enter the agricultural sector may use this information to assess the price ranges and come up with the appropriate investment strategy, and investors expanding their land portfolios may use it to map out their investments against market prices.

The overview focuses on the southwestern part of the Orel region, an attractive object of investment in agriculture due to favourable land prices, agricultural conditions and climate. BEFL experts intended to show the expected prices of farmland for potential investors, as well as the opportunities coming up because of the good investment period caused by the current situations in the economy. A summary of fair value for each category of farmland and price ranges of land lease transfer for a period of over 25 years is given for four districts of the southwestern Orel: Dmitrovsk district, Kromy district, Trosna district, Glazunovka district.
