Agribusiness, Food & Forestry
.

We invest across the agribusiness value chain to improve food security, support sustainability, and promote inclusive development. We also work in sustainable land use, ecosystem protection, and restoration. We are financing forestry (carbon sequestration), climate-smart and regenerative agriculture and soil improvements.

Over the coming decades, the global population will increase to over 9 billion with fewer resources available. FMO has made agribusiness, food & forestry 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 & forestry 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:

  • Primary production: crops, livestock, production, and fishing
  • Processing: crushing, storage, manufacturing & packaging
  • Trade: sourcing trading, and exporting
  • Distribution: cold chain & logistics, and retail
