Latifundist.com issued agricultural business game Latifundia

Latifundist.com in alliance with BASF CompanyLimagrainMassey Ferguson is proud to present an exciting game LATIFUNDIA. Agribusiness Game.

LATIFUNDIA is a board game that teaches the basics of agribusiness in Ukraine.

The game begins with a Seeding field. In the process of the game, you can buy and sell agricultural assets (agricultural holdings, farms, ports, factories), build farms and silos. Your capital will depend on the investment in land bank and assets, as well as deals with other players.

You will have a chance to carry out the sowing campaign, buy agricultural holding, be in the "Quarantine Zone" or try your luck at the "Field Day". In addition, you will learn about all the problems and processes the latifundists deal with every day.

The location of agricultural holdings in the field is based on data from the "TOP 100 landowners of Ukraine" on Latifundist.com at the date of release of the LATIFUNDIA. Agribusiness game (December 2016).

The Project Manager Ulyana Koryakina informed that the project was developed more than three years ago, but the company saw the real market demand this year.

"We developed the project more than three years ago, but the company saw the real market demand this year. At the beginning of the project our task was to fit the entire agricultural business of Ukraine in one box! During the first trial games we already felt it was not just a game, but a real business simulator. But most importantly, our biggest desire was to bring a bit of warmth and comfort to every home and office, where this game would show up. Farmers deserve such games to be specifically created for them", said Ulyana Koryakina.

Executive Officer of Latifundist Media Tatyana Prikhodko added that the game is based on real-world business processes which are taking place in the companies on the Ukrainian market every day.

"Our mission, as a media resource, is to assist farmers with information in any format. So now you can see more and more of our projects that pay tribute to agriculture. This game is based on real-world business processes that are taking place in the companies on the Ukrainian market every day. You plunge into this environment from the very first minutes of the game. We hope that everyone will discover a new perception of business processes, put their secret desires to reality and spend quality time with their relatives", said Tatyana Prikhodko.

Chief editor of Latifundist.com Natalia Kiseleva noted that Latifundist.com in its turn is ready to hold championships for real representatives of agricultural holdings and farms, and to demonstrate such events on the pages of its publications. And let the best win!

The game was created with the sponsorship support of the companies Limagrain Ukraine, BASF and Massey Ferguson.

"We decided to support the project LATIFUNDIA. Agribusiness game, because we hope that every farmer will find something useful and new in the game. Enjoy the game!", said Limagrain Ukraine Company.

Representatives of the Massey Ferguson Company hope that their machinery will help win the game.

"In today's world, the importance of agriculture can not be overemphasized. The need for the plants cultivation is constantly growing together with the increased requirements for their quality. It takes considerable effort, patience, and responsibility of each landowner to grow high-quality crops. It's a hard work, and its results are experienced by the humanity every day. We hope that the game will make a nice difference from everyday hard work and create positive emotions and memories for people whose hard labour must be appreciated every day", BASF company informed.

We are grateful to the team of Michael Mukovoz Design Studio, sponsors, as well as all agricultural holdings and farms, represented in the game.
