Nature of the deal

Comment on nature of the deal
no information on land acquisition available. The company's "usual approach is to operate through long renewable leases (minimum 25 years) as opposed to outright land acquisition" (http://www.mei.edu/content/map/agrarian-mirage-gulf-foreign-direct-investment-pakistan%E2%80%99s-agricultural-sector#_ftnref17 ) Emirates Investment Group (EIG) also put money into farmland in Pakistan when they offered up to a million acres to foreign investors but no further update on the investment.
