Investorideas.com - A great time to own land in Argentina

Investorideas.com - A great time to own land in Argentina

July 24, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Moneyweek.com- This has been a painful year so far for Latin America 's farmers. From Colombia 's coffee heartlands to Argentina 's rolling pampas, farmers are being hit by falling prices. Sugar is down around 50% from its 2010 peak, while coffee has fallen by more than 50%. Cereals, which are also down 24%, look likely to take another hit later on this year as analysts expect America to deliver a record-breaking grain harvest. It's been a rude awakening.

Unsurprisingly the price drops have scared investors. In times of a food crisis people often blame 'speculators', the non-agricultural investors who buy into soft commodities for pushing up the price. But it works both ways. When these speculators get cold feet they can often exacerbate price drops too. And that's exactly what's happening at the moment.

Calpian, Inc. ( OTCQB:CLPI ), one of the first companies in the space, reported this week that as of June 30, 2013, the Money-on-Mobile service offered by its Indian subsidiary is now being supported by 143,057 retail locations, increased from 138,711 on May 31, 2013. Additionally, Money-on-Mobile was accessed by approximately 57.8 million unique phone number customers as of June 30, 2013, up from the 53 million reported from the previous month.

Gartner also noted in its report in April, "As India plays catch up with the rest of the world in terms of mobile broadband adoption, telecom operators need to think of growing the top line through innovative services. Further rural expansion of mobile services will come at a cost. In India, innovation in utility apps that help bring efficiencies in a consumer’s life will bring in sustained revenue and will be relatively more difficult to replicate by new entrants. While social and video apps are doing extremely well in India, Ms. Verma said it is time to look beyond these and deliver apps that can have a sustained business model. Operators need to insert themselves into the value chain of these new apps and services. "
