Denmark | Farming abroad, like in many Eastern European countries and Africa, can be different and challenging, -to say the least.
Several DK farmers broke their neck financially on it.
Risk willing and patient capital is a must and you need to be there yourself or have one top notch manager that you can, and are willing to, trust. Such a person, willing to live in a foreign country, comes at a cost too.
Also expect generally high operating costs, due partly to lacking infrastructure and in many countries bureocracy (sp?) and corruption is at a grand scale. Often the only thing cheap is local labor, and in several countries around the clock guards are a must to prevent theft of just about anything.
Best way to get started seems to be: Find and take over the business from someone who gathered the land, set up the operation, made the big investments and just about got it ready to operate before he went broke.
Not trying to scare just pointing out some things worth taking into consideration before getting involved.
