Despite our efforts, our dataset remains incomplete. Not only is data constantly evolving, but verifying basic data (such as deal size, location, investors involved, and terms of the lease agreement or contract) can be challenging, with different sources providing conflicting information. In fact, even the very existence of a deal is sometimes difficult to prove. The opaque nature of land acquisitions imposes certain limits on the data-gathering process.
Find out more about these limitations in our frequently asked questions (FAQs).

To ensure quality and prevent duplications, a deal has to have information on the following minimum criteria in order to be added to the database:
- Location: At least the country of the potential land acquisition
- Investor name: At least the name of one investor
- Data source: At least one data source has to be provided
- Deal size: At least one size variable
If any one of these is not provided, the deal will be stored in the database for further research but not shown on the public interface.
