Investing in opportunities

We invest debt and equity, and provide hands-on support, to establish and develop commercial-scale agribusinesses in Africa.

Transforming African agriculture

Why Africa? African agriculture has enormous untapped potential. Its transformation from subsistence farming to modern, commercial agribusiness is a major long-term opportunity to create positive impact at scale and generate financial returns.

Our Impact

What we offer

Long-term risk capital

$3 million to $15 million

Loans and equity to finance the growth of early-stage and more established agribusinesses, including operating costs and capital equipment. We can invest multiple rounds of capital to support long-term growth.

Working capital

$3 million to $5 million

Alongside capex investments, we can provide loans for working capital directly from AgDevCo or through our sister facility, LAFCo (for amounts less than $2m).
