How we do our work

​At Zortrax Agribusiness Fund , we do the selection of our investment opportunities a lot of due diligence and scrutiny. Our target is to maintain a balanced portfolio, allowing us to fund sustainably in both early-stage ventures and more mature cash-generative projects.
We have a long-term outlook, recognizing that some of our early-stage agribusinesses can take ten years or more to reach maturity.

Basically we fund up to $10 million of debt and equity in African agribusinesses, targeting primary food production and processing companies where we believe we can make the most impact. However, we invest right across the whole food and inputs supply chain.
​
What this means is that we can support agribusinesses that would otherwise struggle to secure financing on affordable terms and also improve their chances to develop into viable, commercial businesses. We are also willing to provide smaller ticket sizes to projects with promising commercial and development impact.

To maintain a balanced investment portfolio, and reduce our overall risk profile, we also finance expansion projects in more mature agribusinesses with proven business models. These projects typically generate earlier cash flow and pay-back periods.
