As the Global AgInvesting Asia conference convenes in Tokyo in October 2025, bringing together over 200 agriculture investment professionals from the Asia-Pacific and beyond, Australian agriculture is drawing significant attention.
The sector is well-positioned to meet growing global demand for protein and sustainable farming practices, with significant capital entering Australia’s real asset, natural capital and core plus agricultural infrastructure sectors. Recent transactions highlight Australia’s appeal as a primary future destination for institutional-grade agricultural investments.
AAM Investment Group, a Brisbane-based agricultural fund manager, is a key player in this landscape. Managing approximately AUD$1 billion in assets across beef, lamb, cropping, poultry, and timber supply chains, AAM is distinguished by its integrated approach to owning, operating, and optimizing agricultural assets to generate consistent returns.
As a wholly Australian-owned firm, AAM offers diversified portfolios with real asset, natural capital and agricultural infrastructure exposure that combine operational expertise with institutional-grade investment opportunities, making it a compelling partner for international investors seeking exposure to long term Australian agricultural opportunities.
Building on the momentum created from increased capital deployment in the poultry sector, AAM has engaged Gresham Partners to advise on a circa AUD$200 million investment vehicle focused on acquiring, operating, and developing core-plus chicken broiler assets.
AAM’s current portfolio includes interests in 13 farms spanning 3,507 hectares, with an annual production capacity of ~ 25million chickens.
In addition to the existing core asset portfolio, AAM has identified approximately AUD$200+ million in near-term brownfield and greenfield expansion opportunities, providing a platform for investors to deploy capital at scale in Australia’s poultry market.
This poultry-focused strategy is the first of several initiatives, with additional investment vehicles available, including a circa AUD$250 million sustainable softwood timber strategy and an expansion on AAM’s existing natural capital portfolio (encompassing integrated beef, sheep, cropping and carbon projects) currently valued at over AUD$500 million.
With Australia’s agricultural exports projected to reach record levels, driven by rising protein demand globally, particularly in Asia, AAM’s platform offers investors access to resilient returns, alignment with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, and operational expertise through long-term partnerships.
Investors attending the Global AgInvesting Asia conference are encouraged to connect with AAM representatives in Tokyo or visit aamig.com.au to explore how AAM’s offerings align with their portfolio objectives. This is an opportunity to engage with a specialist manager with proven investment management performance in one of the world’s most dynamic agricultural markets.
