Investment area — Agribusiness

Productive land, modern supply chains.

Feeding a growing world requires investment in productivity, storage and logistics. We look for agribusinesses with sound operations, sustainable practices and access to reliable markets.

01Sector thesis

Agribusiness combines real assets — land, equipment, storage — with exposure to weather, commodity prices and logistics. Well-managed producers and processors can turn that complexity into durable value.

We focus on businesses that invest in productivity and resilience, from irrigation and storage to processing and export capacity.

02Financing challenges

  1. 01

    Seasonal working-capital needs and price cyclicality.

  2. 02

    Climate and water-availability risk.

  3. 03

    Infrastructure gaps in storage and transport.

03Relevant sub-segments

  • Crop production and farm modernisation
  • Irrigation and water management
  • Grain storage and processing
  • Export logistics and supply chains
