We advise the people who own, run, finance and buy agribusinesses in Africa. The advantage we bring is operational depth and real sector knowledge: what to build, what to fix, what to raise and when to sell.
Family-owned and founder-led businesses professionalising, expanding or preparing for shareholder change.
Private equity, DFIs, banks and strategic investors deploying capital into African agriculture and needing conviction before they commit.
Producers, exporters, processors and input businesses evaluating new markets, assets and acquisitions.
Foundations, DFIs and development programmes seeking to combine commercial discipline with measurable development impact.
Where to play and how to win in a specific value chain, grounded in the agronomy, the operations and the market, not generic strategy.
Lifting yield, quality, cost and route-to-market in businesses that are already running, working with management on the ground.
Field-first diligence for buyers and lenders, yield economics, cost structures, management and systems, checked against what's actually happening on site.
Getting a business investment ready and securing the right capital on the right terms.
Buy-side and sell-side mandates managed as structured processes, from opportunity assessment and transaction preparation through engagement, negotiation and close.
The supporting analysis, feasibility and financial models, built around how the business actually earns. Rigorous, but always in service of the commercial decision, never the product itself.
We form views on farms, in aggregation facilities and at markets before we form them in spreadsheets. Numbers that disagree with the field get corrected.
Every engagement is tested from both sides of the table: can this be run, and would a rational investor fund it.
Working models, board papers and investor documents that management keep using after we leave, not reports that stay on the shelf.
Our consulting is organised around the agricultural value chains we know best, with selected engagements and outcomes published for each.
Feasibility, performance, capital or exit: tell us where the business is and where you want it to be.
