NZFSU is seeking to raise at least $75 million to invest in diary and beef farms in Uruguay, where PGG Wrightson sees huge potential.
The company is confident it has already got that amount, and has scope for over-subscriptions of another $75 million.
The purchase will be settled after the public offering of shares in NZFSU, closing on December 12.
NZFSU previously agreed to buy three farms from PGG Wrightson based on independent valuations.
The fourth is to be bought from a local owner for $US6.2 million ($NZ9.1 million).
