FMO invests across the value chain - enhancing food security, supporting 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 these challenges by focusing investments across the value chain.
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.
FMO finances companies throughout the agribusiness value chain:
• Primary production: crops, livestock, production, and fishing
• Processing: crushing, storage, handling & packaging
• Trade: trading, and exporting
• Distribution: logistics, and retail
FMO’s Farmer Finance program works with agribusiness companies and financial institutions on projects that enhance the livelihoods of (smallholder) farmers. Through our financing, expertise and grants, farmers and build up their knowledge and invest in their farms with the aim of becoming financially sustainable.
