Agribusiness

Back

Today, agriculture is one of the most rapidly evolving sectors of the economy. The need to look at this sector from the perspective of future sustainability, while also addressing the needs of the present, has led to unprecedented progress in a sector that is key to the quality of human life today and tomorrow.

More than in any other sector, sustainability is an imperative.

And it is this undeniable link between agribusiness and sustainability that is driving innovation in areas including the management of scarce resources such as water, precision agriculture, and value chains.

Due to its geographical and climatic characteristics and its know-how, Portugal stands out in Europe as a prime destination for agricultural investment. With successful projects that have gained global recognition, investors in the sector - both Portuguese and international - are now exporting not only quality products, but also cutting-edge knowledge and technology, positioning the country as a benchmark in agribusiness.

At PLMJ, we are passionate about these projects and have built a dedicated and highly specialised team to work on them.

We advise on a wide range of issues essential to our clients' agricultural projects, including:

  • Licensing of infrastructure for the use of water resources and other methods of water resource extraction.
  • Licensing of renewable energy production facilities.
  • Analysis of the applicable territorial instruments and interaction with the various administrative bodies involved in the sector (Ministry of Agriculture, Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development, Portuguese Environment Agency, Institute for Nature Conservation and Forestry, irrigation associations, among others).
  • Advising on transactions involving the purchase and sale of property assets and businesses.
  • Analysis and monitoring of pre-emption rights issues in the acquisition of rural property.
