Frequently Asked Questions
1 What has been the historical return on One Acre Farms farmland investments?
Over the past 10 years, our completed projects have shown significant appreciation: Hilltop Farm Retreat (230%), Lakeside Farm Retreat (220%), Country Side Farm Retreat (200%), and Misty Valley Farm Retreat (75-150%). *Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.*
2 How do farmland returns compare to residential apartments in Bangalore?
Residential apartments in Bangalore have historically appreciated at 3-5% annualized (40-60% over 10 years), while our managed farmland projects have shown 7-15% annualized appreciation. Farmland also offers tax-free agricultural income, unlike taxable rental income from apartments.
3 Is farmland a better investment than REITs?
REITs offer high liquidity but lower returns (3-4% annualized) and taxable dividends. Managed farmland offers tangibility, tax-free income under Section 10(1), inflation hedging, and typically higher appreciation. However, farmland has lower liquidity and requires a longer investment horizon.
4 Why has farmland near Bangalore outperformed other asset classes?
Bangalore's rapid expansion (population growth, IT corridor development, infrastructure projects like metro and airport expansion) has driven demand for agricultural land at the city's periphery. The limited supply of farmland, combined with Karnataka and Tamil Nadu's restrictions on agricultural land purchases, creates supply pressure that supports appreciation.
5 What are the risks of investing in managed farmland?
Key risks include: lower liquidity (difficulty selling quickly), regulatory changes in land acquisition laws, water table fluctuations, and crop yield variability. However, managed farmland mitigates many traditional risks through professional security, agronomy support, and community facilities. *Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.*
6 How does the tax treatment of farmland compare to other investments?
Agricultural income is 100% tax-exempt under Section 10(1) of the Income Tax Act. Capital gains on rural agricultural land may be exempt if it meets specific criteria. In contrast, rental income from apartments is taxed at 30%, and REIT dividends are subject to TDS. This tax efficiency significantly enhances net returns.
Why Farmland Outperforms
Limited Supply
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu restrictions on agricultural land purchases create supply constraints that support prices.
Inflation Hedge
Land values and crop prices typically rise with inflation, protecting your purchasing power unlike fixed deposits.
Tax Advantages
Agricultural income is 100% tax-free under Section 10(1). No other asset class offers this benefit.
