Author: Akanksha Bakshi | October 10, 2023 12:43pm

Farmland Partners Inc. (NYSE:FPI) concluded several transactions in 3Q23, marking significant developments in its portfolio. It successfully sold over 13,500 acres spread across six states and acquired a substantial farm in Louisiana.

The transactions included the sale of farmlands in states like California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, and Kansas, generating over $70 million in total. This represented a gain of approximately 17% on the sale.

The acquisition involved a 1,523-acre farm in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana, which is in proximity to FPI’s existing farmlands and is known for corn and soybean production. The farm was acquired for an estimated $11 million.

As of September 2023, FPI has sold farmland valued at over $120 million, yielding a profit of about $23 million. The company anticipates its total asset sales for the year to reach $170 million.
