Consumer and agriculture

Sustainable agricultural practices will not only enhance nutrition and food security on the continent, but also create much needed employment and economic growth.

The food and beverage industry has undergone a series of changes in the last decade due to the rapidly changing consumer behaviors, technological advancements and stringent regulations.

Despite the challenges, the food and beverage industry has seen an accelerated interest from consumers. Our team comprises industry experts with the expertise to develop innovative solutions to service the strategic, operational, financial and societal needs of the sector across Africa. In addition to this, our team tailor-makes and structures innovative funding and hedging solutions to support the processing and distribution segments of the agricultural value chain. Our intimate knowledge of the industry enables us to create space for industry players to explore new business models that both conform to market requirements and disrupt old business models. 

Our support is enabled by our extensive in-country banking network and representative offices in key jurisdictions in Africa.
