We Are Here To Help You
At FIAN, we believe in the enduring value of farmland and forests, as well as the long-term appreciation of these assets. We offer investors the opportunity to include premium Canadian farmland in their portfolios. With the global demand for food on the rise and growing interest in sustainable investments, allocating capital to “natural assets” has never been more compelling.
For over 35 years, FIAN has supported primarily non-Canadian investors in acquiring farmland and forestland across Canada, while managing their investments locally—with experienced teams on the ground.
How about farmland prices in Canada?
Farmland Credit Canada, a credit union specializing in agricultural financing, publishes an annual Farmland Values Report. This report provides detailed insights into agricultural land price trends across most Canadian provinces, including data at the regional level within each province. The most recent edition—the Farmland Values Report 2024—was released in spring 2025 and is available for download here.
The average appreciation for farmland in 2024 was 9.3%, lower than the increase of 11,5% reported for 2023. The highest increases were reported for Saskatchewan 13,1%, followed by British Columbia at 11,3% and New Brunswick at 9,0 %.

How about timberland prices in Canada?
Unlike farmland, there are no official statistics tracking trends in forest land values in Canada. Timberland prices are influenced by a range of factors beyond location—including the quality and value of the forest inventory, existing infrastructure on the property, proximity to sawmills, and the efficiency of timber transport to market.
As for farmland investments, we offer the same services for timberland investors, supporting you from project identification to acquisition and local management of your forest property.
