HARVEST CAPITAL

Harvest Capital Group was born out of a personal interest in locating profitable farming ventures in South America that surpassed investment opportunities available in the United States. Scott Oakes, Managing Member, forecasted grain prices & developed a commercial hedge consulting relationship with a Brazilian cooperative starting in 1993. The relationships and knowledge from this venture resulted in the formation of an investment group of friends and family in 1996 that purchased 12,000 acres of virgin "Cerrado" land in northeastern Brazil. The success generated from this investment is the basis for Harvest Capital's investments in Brazil, which at this time totals US$130M... Our mission is to locate, develop, and manage unique investments in agri-business and sustainable forestry... Stewardship - Focus on long term appreciation of capital, while cultivating long term relationships with our clients, associates, and the countries and communities we serve
