the land is leased but the cost is literally dirt cheap. you can find the company's discussion here:

the cost per hectare is $1/yr for years 1-3, $2/yr for years 4-6, $4/yr for years 7-9, $8/yr for years 10-12, and a whopping $16/yr for years 13-onward. in other words, the price of the aforementioned sick chicken. with fees that low, the land can be locked up forever, so there isn't a lot of difference between leasing and buying. even for a small company like aru, those costs aren't much more than a rounding error.
