As the autumn foliage begins to turn Tokyo’s skyline into a canvas of crimson and gold, Global AgInvesting Asia 2025 arrives on October 28-29 at the Tokyo American Club. This gathering will bring together approximately 200 professionals, including institutional investors, family offices, agri-business leaders and agtech experts from across Asia and beyond. Over two tightly curated days, participants will explore key trends in the region’s agricultural industry, combining timely discussions with networking opportunities to support informed investment decisions.
GAI Asia is built to spark connections across agriculture, timber and natural capital. Against headwinds from trade disruptions, climate risk and shifting supply chains, sessions focus on strategies that combine profitability with stewardship. Expect fresh takes on regulatory reform, value chain shifts, agriculture’s role in a diversified portfolio, real-asset fundamentals and targeted market opportunities. GAI Asia draws a who’s-who of regional allocators and partners, with attendees spanning sovereigns, pensions, insurers and asset managers, among others.
Day One of the conference kicks off with a session entitled, “Show me the Money! The Unspoken Laws of Capital Behavior from Farm to Fork.” Drawing on three decades of research and investing across the food and agri-business chain, the session distills how capital behavior, margin evolution and valuation dynamics follow a set of well-worn principles. These reference points help investors validate strategy across the value chain, making this an essential opener for anyone focused on markets, risk, financing and capital deployment.
GAI Asia also shines a spotlight on Japan’s agricultural regulations system, rigid land laws and subsidies that protect small farmers but curb efficiency amid an aging workforce. Experts will explore reforms that could revitalize rural Japan, aligning it with global trade while honoring its farming heritage.
No agriculture conference would be complete without a deep dive into the timeless pillars of real assets: timber and farmland. As investors navigate resilient, long-term strategies amid inflation, volatility and the push for sustainability, timberland and farmland are re-emerging as foundational real assets. Manulife Investment Management will highlight why these asset classes continue to deliver compelling benefits, including uncorrelated returns, inflation protection and durable cash flows, while playing a critical role in decarbonization and delivering nature-positive outcomes through responsible land stewardship.
Backed by decades of operational experience and market insight, this presentation offers institutional investors a timely reassessment of timber and agriculture as core components of a modern, diversified portfolio. Discover how these enduring assets can anchor your strategy for the years ahead.
