AgDevCo Ventures

Compiled from public sources

AgDevCo Ventures is a specialised, early-stage impact investment vehicle established within the AgDevCo Group to address the critical missing middle financing gap for growth-stage agricultural enterprises across East Africa. The fund provides flexible, non-dilutive risk capital—predominantly structured mezzanine debt—and matching technical assistance grants to high-potential small and medium-sized agribusinesses. Its investments span the entire agricultural value chain, including primary production, outgrower schemes, agricultural processing, inputs, ag-tech, cold-chain logistics, and FMCG food and beverage manufacturing. Operated out of Nairobi by AgDevCo's East Africa investment team, the vehicle targets companies with established operational histories that generate positive developmental outcomes for smallholder farmers, local employment, and female economic inclusion. AgDevCo Ventures set an initial target size of USD 50 million, and achieved a first closed size of USD 49 million in August 2026.
