Who is our customer
Moringa S.C.A. is a fund that invests in agroforestry projects in Latin America and Africa. It combines forestry activities (timber, industrial tree crops or fruit trees) with cattle ranging and food crops. With the help of tree planting, sometimes in combination with crops, nutrients can be added to the land, thereby making depleted land fertile again.
What is our funding objective?
FMO's investment is intended to support this highly innovative fund manager, and facilitate investments in projects with positive environmental and social impacts.
Why do we fund this investment?
This is a highly innovative fund focusing on what is essentially a new business concept (agro forestry is not yet commercially proven on a large scale) and therefore needs to build positive track record for it to become attractive for other investors. FMO can play a front running role by financing such an innovative fund and providing support to increase attention on the sector.
