There has been a tremendous surge of interest in investing in Africa. The continent remains significantly under-developed yet rich in natural resources. Labour rates are low, economic growth rates are high and with multi-party democracies increasingly becoming the norm there is greater certainty around operational and investment risk. In other words, much of Africa is joining the emerging market investment fold.

We specialise in private equity investment into commercial agriculture, food production and food processing in sub-Saharan Africa. We aim to invest from the ground up, creating a vertically integrated business that combines actual food production with food processing. We have developed a farmland bank of over 2,000 hectares of arable land and an outgrower scheme covering over 5000 hectares.

 

We are also keen to work against poverty and hunger in the areas we operate and this is a fundamental part of our approach.

We successfully raised $16.5 million in Q1 2008, through the Africa Invest Capital Protected Plan and the Africa Invest Fund.
