DO NOT INVEST WITH THESE *******

Was definitely a mistake investing any money with this company. They changed their payouts to once a year against the contract and adverti*****t that was posted when I originally invested which stated that every 6 months id get a payout. I invested in their blueberry bushes. When I asked for my money back they said it wouldn't be possible and that instead I must find a buyer to take over my investment. Fsca is gonna be asked to investigate and revoke/suspend their licensing. Await the class action lawsuit coming. I referred alot of friends who all have the same issue.

Hi Arshad,
We appreciate you sharing your concerns about the shift to a single annual payment for blueberry assets. The decision to consolidate payments into one annual disbur*****t was made by our farming partner to align with harvest periods which are very close together, streamline farming operations, and minimise any potential delays in payment. While this change was implemented to ensure efficiency, we understand the impact it might have on your cash flow expectations. This change was, however, communicated to all investors in 2024, prior to the implementation of the new structure. 
 
The harvest periods indicated on our collateral are projected periods as farming products, by their nature, operate on timelines that are influenced by seasonal, environmental, and market factors. As such, the harvest periods and payment frequencies communicated in our materials are always approximations, not fixed dates.
Once harvests have been finalised, the harvested product is distributed, farmers are then paid and, once that has happened, payment is made to Fedgroup. Once we have received the funds from our farming partners, it is immediately paid to investors’ Wallets.
 
Because these are real farming assets on real farms, managed by real farmers, the performance and timelines are impacted by real-world factors that are often beyond our control. While performance might fluctuate, these products are designed to be longer term products, and we are confident that the returns will average out over the full term to align with our initial projections. 
 
Due to the nature of this model where investors do not liaise directly with the farming partners, Fedgroup acts as the agent for investors to ensure that our investors receive their income and that the best interests of our investors are always taken into consideration. 

It is helpful to understand how Impact Farming fits within the broader regulatory landscape. While Fedgroup offers a range of regulated, traditional investment products, Impact Farming does not fall within the regulatory jurisdiction of the FAIS Act, the FAIS Ombud, or the FSCA's Market Conduct division. The terms and conditions for this product stipulate that it is not a liquid investment and investors wishing to sell their investment may do so by finding a willing buyer. 

If you have any other questions or would like to speak to one of our consultants, please let us know and we'll happily get in touch.

Unfortunately changing the contract midway of an investment has to be agreed upon by the investor as well as the company taking the investment. Mere communication doesnt automatically allow you to unilaterally make any decision you see fit to do so.

Hi Arshad,

Based on the terms and conditions agreed to when investing in Fedgroup Impact Farming, investors appoint Fedgroup as managing agent in respect of the Asset purchased, to act in the best interest of our investors. 

Clause 7 of the Impact Farming Terms, titled “Appointment of managing agent and agency agreement”, states the following:

7.1 By purchasing an Asset on the Fedgroup Platform, you agree and enter into the Agency Agreement constituted in this Clause

7.2 The Agency Agreement will be valid for as long as you own the Product unless these Impact Farming Terms are terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of clauses 10 to 12 below.

7.3 As a condition of the purchase of any Asset, you hereby expressly appoint, allow and authorise Us as your special agent with sole authority to do all things as may be necessary on your behalf in respect of any Asset purchased by you, including:

7.3.1 entering into, amending, and terminating agreements with a Site Owner in respect of the use of the Site for the Works, the deployment of Assets or Third-Party Assets and the production of Products;

 

Our actions were therefore taken in accordance with the authority already provided for in the agreed Impact Farming Terms. Thank you.
