Our Investments

Our Ghanaian investments focus on a diversified portfolio of businesses in the agriculture sector to support both commercial and smallholder farmers.

We aim to stimulate investment in a modern agricultural sector which could support a diversity of small, medium and large farms to create jobs and improve food security.

AgDevCo invests in 'hub and spoke' farming and processing operations in Mozambique, including through the Beira Agricultural Growth Corridor Catalytic Fund.

Our investments in Rwanda focus on a portfolio mix of export potential, trusted quality and links to smallholder farmers.

Providing links to markets and a focus on smallholder farmer engagement can offer social impact and a lasting improvement in living standards.

We have recently started operations in Uganda and are in the process of building a portfolio focused on the Northern part of the country.

Focusing on investment in agricultural ventures that integrate smallholder and emergent farmers into modern value chains.
