A Message from Our President

Let me extend my warm welcome and thanks to all of you for your support of our businesses.

Global Outlook for 2024 and Beyond.

Looking ahead, the year 2024 is packed with changes and new opportunities that affect the global markets and economies. These changes are dynamic structural shifts resulting from the impacts of global warming, climate change, and changes in the way we live and work, which affect the investments of various real asset classes. As real assets investors, we must carefully monitor the impacts of these structural shifts to adjust risk management accordingly and timely capture new investment opportunities arising from social and economic transformation because of such structural shifts.

As the global economies expand from population growth, real asset investments become increasingly attractive. They offer high returns due to significant price appreciation from economic growth, allowing investors to diversify investment portfolios to reduce overall risk. 2024 brings exciting investment opportunities in various classes of real assets, including renewable energy, real estate, agriculture, commodities, and infrastructure.

Renewable Energy Investment Opportunities
The global energy transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy to reduce global warming opens vast opportunities in energy generation, storage, and products manufacturing, including electric vehicles (EV), machinery and equipment, solar water heaters, pumps, lights, and many more. In line with the global energy transition, Maylan provides solar-powered homes and independent solar or wind power supply to power its development projects, utilizing solar or another form of renewable-power-based machinery and equipment, where possible.

As power generation plays a critical role in Maylan’s core business of infrastructure and urban development and agriculture and commodity production, investment in renewable energy is instrumental to Maylan’s business, ensuring a reliable and independent energy supply for Maylan projects, creating energy products and services tailored to the needs of these projects, maintaining a competitive edge in technology advancements for energy efficiency and cost savings, and contributing to global energy transformation. Such investment has a direct positive impact on local communities by ensuring a steady supply of energy, stimulating local economies through job creation, and mitigating the effects of climate change. 

 

Real Estate and Infrastructure Investment Opportunities
2024 marks our launch of major real estate projects in Thailand and the US, providing affordable housing and low-cost retirement living catering to the nation's fast-ageing population and creating attractive investment opportunities in the affordable housing and retirement real estate sectors. Our investment in these sectors improves the quality of life for Americans and the local supporting infrastructure, including water and power supplies, waste management, roads, and telecommunications, contributing to job creation and economic growth

 
Agriculture Investment Opportunities 
Agriculture continues to drive economic growth for the United States in 2024, with almost 18% of its economy and 30% of American jobs directly or indirectly tied to food and agriculture, making the agribusiness industry a cornerstone of the American economy. However, as agricultural land continues to decrease in the US due to urban expansion, a decrease in crop prices due to global competition and low crop yields due to climate change, we shift our investment in agriculture production to farmland and limited selective farming to generate attractive returns and hedge against inflation. The US farmland value has steadily increased in the last 10 years despite economic downturns, making it a favourable investment for capital protection.  

Commodities Investment Opportunities
Investing in commodities provides diversification, a hedge against inflation, and excellent investment returns. 2024 initiates the launch of the Maylan commodities supply business in Thailand, providing wholesale construction and agriculture supplies, including fertilizer, farming equipment and machinery to large farming communities across the provinces of Thailand. The country is the world's 2nd largest exporter of rice and largest exporter of tapioca products, rubber, canned tuna, canned pineapple, cooked poultry, and frozen shrimp. The new commodities operation will also provide construction and material supplies at lower costs for our real estate projects in Thailand, enabling Maylan to offer retirement homes at competitive prices.

Investment Opportunities in Africa
Africa is the world's fastest-growing continent with the youngest population having most of the world's undiscovered natural resources. Africa is forecasted to see a phenomenal economic boom with an average growth of 4.7 – 7% among its member countries and a projected combined GDP of 29 trillion dollars by 2050. The continent is a new and exciting emerging market, offering excellent investment opportunities in a wide range of industries, including infrastructure, energy, agriculture, technology, and supply chain. Maylan has developed excellent investment opportunities in affordable housing and agriculture production in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda, the largest economies and fastest-growing countries in East Africa. We are preparing for launching our projects in Africa following the completion of launching our Thailand projects. Our investment in Africa not only generates attractive returns for investors but also transforms the continent by eradicating hunger and poverty and mitigating the impacts of climate change. 

 

At Maylan, we have the unique ability to change lives, and we want to be part of this exciting revolution to transform the world in which we live into a safe and better place. If you share our vision for such a world, invest with us.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
