A GREAT FARM ISN’T ALWAYS A GREAT INVESTMENT.
Excellent soil. Modern machinery. Skilled people. You can have all three and still struggle to build a successful agricultural business.
Eva Branta knows this from experience.
From her early days on Danish pig farms in 1995 to becoming Managing Owner of ActusQ, she has spent more than 25 years working with Scandinavian and European investors in Latvia and the Baltics.
She has developed complex agricultural and alternative energy investment projects, managed a farmland holding of up to 6,500 hectares, and invested her own money in farmland.
For Eva, successful investing is not just about acquiring assets. It is about understanding risks, structuring opportunities and creating long-term value.
WHO WILL OWN TOMORROW’S FARMS?
As agriculture becomes increasingly capital-intensive, Eva believes traditional ownership models need to evolve.
Why should the same person necessarily own the land, finance the business and manage the operations?
The real challenge is not simply finding a buyer, but creating the right ownership structure for the future.
CAPITAL FOLLOWS TRUST.
Friends sometimes call Eva a “walking encyclopaedia”. It reflects her ability to connect practical farming knowledge with complex investment, legal and financial matters.
But experience has taught her that knowledge alone is not enough.
She values partners who challenge assumptions, speak uncomfortable truths and stand by their commitments.
Because behind every investment are real people, real risks and real consequences.
And the best long-term partnerships are built on trust, sound judgment and shared responsibility.
