Czech investment group PPF has acquired Russian agricultural company RAV Agro-Pro, owner of 164,500 hectares of agricultural land, it said Wednesday.
PPF, controlled by Czech billionaire Petr Kellner, said it bought 100 percent of the Voronezh-based grain and livestock farmer.
PPF, which also owns banking group Home Credit, which plans to raise about $1 billion in a public share offer in September, did not disclose the financial terms of the deal. Investment fund RP Capital was a co-investor in the deal.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
