“…As both aspects lower the benefits and increase the risks of large production-related investment, studies often find it to lead to ambiguous or even negative effects (German et al 2013;Schoneveld 2014). Reasons include competition for productive land (Hall 2011), a failure to adhere to required consultation processes (Nolte and Voget-Kleschin 2014), and lack of contract disclosure or independent compliance monitoring (Cotula 2014). We know of only one case study suggesting that large farm establishment benefited neighboring smallholders through positive effects on technology transfer and factor market effects (Adewumi et al 2013).…”

“…A number of factors are considered as particularly relevant, such as the actual investments made by foreign investors; employment creation and the development of infrastructure; whether FLAs involve negative environmental externalities and/or knowledge and technological spillovers; the nature of the acquired land (is it unused land or do foreign investors compete for land with the local population? ); consultation with the local community (Cotula et al 2009;FAO, 2013;Messerli et al 2014;Kleemann, Thiele, 2015;Nolte, Voget-Kleschin, 2014).…”

This paper investigates whether and how the distance in the quality of institutions between the investing and target country affects the pattern of Foreign Land Acquisitions (FLA). We estimate a panel gravity-like equation to assess the impact of the institutional distance on the amount of land acquired and the number of contracts signed. Our results show that the institutional distance significantly affects both the number of contracts and the amount of land, but that the direction of these effects varies according to the geographical region and the relative strength of institutions in the target countries, with Africa following a pattern of its own.

An embedded case study design allows us to analyse two specific land deals in Ghana and Kenya. We find that insufficiencies in these countries' land governance systems are partly caused by discrepancies between de jure and de facto procedures; and that weak legal frameworks, coupled with poor enforcement, produce outcomes that depend to a large extent on the investors. We also find that large-scale land acquisitions have a feedback effect on the land governance system, which suggests that large-scale land acquisitions can be drivers of institutional change.2
