Frequently Asked Questions
1 What has been the historical return on One Acre Farms farmland investments?
Historical transaction claims require dated supporting evidence and are not forecasts. Historical examples are not forecasts; model delayed or lower resale and higher costs.
2 How do farmland returns compare to residential apartments in Bangalore?
There is no dependable annualized farmland rate. Compare dated transactions, liquidity, concentration, costs, taxes, crop risk, management terms, and downside scenarios for the specific assets with an independent adviser.
3 Is farmland a better investment than REITs?
REITs are market-traded and generally more liquid, while farmland is a direct, illiquid asset with title, operating and exit risk. Crop receipts and REIT distributions have different fact-specific tax treatment. Compare current evidence, costs, liquidity and risk rather than assuming either asset will deliver higher returns.
4 What evidence should I use to compare farmland with other assets?
Use parcel-specific dated transactions, title and water evidence, all acquisition and operating costs, crop records, management terms, liquidity and downside scenarios. Compare them with current official records for the alternative asset; infrastructure proposals do not assure 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 treatment depends on the statutory definition, tax year and taxpayer circumstances. 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.
What to Evaluate Before Comparing Returns
Parcel Evidence
Verify title, survey boundaries, legal access, water, land use, permissions and dated registered transactions.
Liquidity and Costs
Farmland is concentrated and illiquid. Include acquisition, development, management, crop and exit costs and model a lower resale value.
Fact-Specific Tax
Tax treatment depends on the activity, land classification, taxpayer, tax year and conditions in force. Obtain Chartered Accountant advice.
