While the massive trade of agricultural land is decried by NGOs and often considered as a land grab, international organizations such as the World Bank see it as a development opportunity for countries selling or leasing their land, what they call the "win-win" principle.

The objective of this research is to make the link between massive land trade and the possible development opportunity that would result from it, in order to know if after a decade of the phenomenon's expansion, the trade in agricultural land has really succeeded in bringing about development in the areas where the land has been traded.
