Interest in global farmland is accelerating, given price volatility in commodities, rising human population and environmental pressures as well as concerns for food security. From Asia to Africa to South America - agricultural activity with large scale farming is expected to expand and offer high returns. Cambodia and other countries with large land tracts, workers and incentives are attracting national and global investors as well as corporate majors.
