Investing across the agribusiness value chain to enhance food security, support sustainability and promoting inclusive development.
Over the coming decades, the global population will increase to over 9 billion with fewer resources available. FMO has made Agribusiness a priority to help meet this challenge by investing across the value chain - enhancing food security, supporting sustainability and promoting inclusive development.
Since 2012, FMO has built up a highly diverse and financially healthy portfolio in Agribusiness, food & water (AFW) across Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
We offer various forms of financing, including long-term loans, equity, mezzanine and working capital finance. We tailor our funding package to meet the changing needs of your agribusiness company. Whenever possible we also provide our funding in local currencies.
FMO finances companies throughout the agribusiness value chain:
Why invest in a complex and high-risk industry that has failed in the past? FMO’s client Yalelo is a sustainable tilapia farm in Zambia. Its activities cover the whole value chain, from breeding and feed production to end-consumer distribution.
Trees hold CO2, we all know that by now. But so does soil — if you treat it in the right way. In this podcast, FMO’s Pieternel Boogaard, Director of Agribusiness, Food and Water, and Barbara Baarsma, CEO of Rabo Carbo Bank and Professor of Applied Economics at the University of Amsterdam, talk about investing in soil management.

The Ghanaian timber industry has long fed off the natural resources of the country. As a result, the Ghanaian forests have almost disappeared. However, the population continues to grow and due to economic development, the demand for wood is high. Miro Forestry builds wood plantations and at the same time replants forests that are not for logging.
