dc.description	Africa has become the most targeted continent for large-scale agricultural land investments (LALIs) withover 60% of the global figure. Some efforts have been made to investigate the determinants of LALIs at theglobal level; however, scare evidence abounds regarding the characteristics of target communities in agiven country particularly in Nigeria, one of the top 20 recipients of LALIs globally. This study contributesby showing how community characteristics influence the likelihood of receiving LALIs and the aspectsof such community characteristics that matter. Utilising community-level data in Nigeria and estimatingwith probit model, some findings are made. Unexpectedly, the indicators of local institutions in thecommunities do not exert significant influence on the likelihood of LALIs occurrence. This supposes thatthe local institutions are rather overwhelmed by the state. How the local institutions can be integratedfor LALIs are suggested
