Funding Criteria

Zortrax Agribusiness Fund welcomes applications from potential fundees for agribusiness projects across the agricultural value chain Zortrax may also invest in upper-middle income countries for instance South Africa though on rare cases, as there is strong development impact and with partners that have intention to also invest other low and middle-income countries on the African continent.  We rarely fund agribusiness in South Africa since the country has high development upper and middle income population as compared to other African countries. However we have isolated cases of agribusiness funding in South Africa funded by Zortrax Agribusiness fund.
