We connect international investors with Colombia’s most fertile and productive lands. From high-demand crops like avocados and lemons to long-term sustainability projects in reforestation, our curated property types are selected for their agricultural viability, legal clarity, and growth potential.
Explore the types of farmland available throughout Colombia and discover the benefits, terrain, and investment timelines for each.
Avocado
Ideal Regions: Antioquia, Tolima, Caldas, Quindío
Terrain Type: Hilly to mountainous, volcanic soil, elevations between 1,800–2,400 meters
Investment Timeline: Medium to long term (ROI from year 4 onward)
ROI Range: 12%–20% annually after year 5 (approximate)
Avocados are Colombia’s agricultural rising star. The country’s year-round growing season and access to international markets (especially Europe) make it an attractive investment. Hass avocados are in high demand, and Colombian exports have doubled in recent years, driven by both small and large producers. Farmland suited for avocado production often appreciates in value due to export potential and crop profitability.
Cattle
Ideal Regions: Córdoba, Casanare, Meta, Magdalena Medio
Terrain Type: Flat or gently rolling, pastures with native grasses
Investment Timeline: Short to medium term
ROI Range: 8%–14% annually depending on operation scale
Cattle ranching is one of Colombia’s most traditional and scalable agricultural ventures. The country ranks among the top beef producers in Latin America, with strong domestic demand and increasing export opportunities. Well-located cattle farms with access to water and road infrastructure offer a reliable return and fast operational setup, especially with rotational grazing systems or dual-purpose (milk and meat) operations.
Reforestation
Ideal Regions: Santander, Vichada, Meta, Chocó
Terrain Type: Previously degraded or deforested land, tropical lowlands or foothills
Investment Timeline: Long term (7+ years)
ROI Range: Varies; indirect through carbon credits or timber harvest
These projects are part of Colombia’s growing environmental economy. Investors can fund reforestation with native or fast-growing species (e.g., teak, melina, acacia) and generate income through certified carbon credits or sustainable timber. Many lands are available through government-supported programs and may offer tax benefits or incentives. These projects support biodiversity and contribute to global climate goals.
Lemon & Citrus
Ideal Regions: Valle del Cauca, Huila, Santander, Bolívar
Terrain Type: Warm climates, low to mid elevation (300–1,000 meters)
Investment Timeline: Medium term (productive by year 2–3)
ROI Range: 10%–18% annually depending on market/export channels
Citrus farming is ideal for lower altitudes in Colombia, and lemons (especially Tahiti lime) are a top export. With rising demand in both North American and European markets, Colombia has become a major producer. These farms typically produce income within a few years, and with proper management, lemon trees remain productive for over 15 years.
