Since June of 2008 the Lumix AgroDirect Fund has been incubated.  They invest in the production of soft commodities in four countries – Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.

As Lumix’s managing partner, Gonzalo Fernandez Castro explained to FINalternatives, “Farming is very volatile when you talk about one plot of land. If you have 1,000 plots of land in different areas, the volatility is very much reduced.”

So far, the firm has raised $20 million US dollars of capital from both partners and seed investors.  It targets to raise $100 million for its first offering.
