Can arable land of country be permanently lost due to land conversion?

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Suppose the Philippines’ geographical area and climate is very conducive to agriculture, and the soil is great. However, the agricultural sector is continuously diminished because of competition from foreign owned, subsidized factory farms. This goes on until such time that all the agricultural land is converted into residential or industrial land. Suddenly, the foreign exporters of cheap agricultural products suffer a sever economic recession and the factory farms go bankrupt. To supply the food , Filipinos are willing to take off the buildings and improvements off the land and revert to growing food. Can this be done? How practical is it? To what extent?

Long term: Philippino Peso Vs. US Dollar?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Greetings,

The Wisconsin Snow Bunny and myself are being presented with an opportunity to invest in the Philippines (a family venture). Being we are both US Dollar earners and savers and the transaction (investment and return) would be in Philippine Pesos we would be exposed to Ph. Peso vs. US Dollar currency risks. Right now, the trend is favorable. Do you see the trend continuing and stabilizing? Do you see the trend reversing itself?

What do you see happening in the future regarding Philippine Peso vs. US Dollar trading?

Salamat po kayo!
This is not a currency speculation play we are contemplating but partnering with family on a agricultural land purchase.
I have been viewing the xchange rates on Yahoo finance and the about five years ago it was at 50 to the dollar and then something happened and it jumped up, however since then it has more than recovered.

BTW, all I am considering the factors you all mention. Weather risks, market risks, other political risks etc. I am certain my wife’s family is very enterprising and has done quite well for themselves including similar ventures.
