Financing Agribusiness in Sub-Saharan Africa: Opportunities, Challenges, and Investment Models

This is part of AgriFin’s collection of resources which include brief technical notes, lessons learned reports, and articles examining a broad range of topics related to sustainable agricultural finance.

This study examines financing agribusiness in Sub-Saharan Africa, where expanding food markets driven mainly by income growth and rapid urbanization are creating demand for high-value agribusiness products, new supply chains, and supporting services in the agribusiness industry. Using multiple analytic methods, it looks at the supply and demand for finance by agribusiness in distinct value chains at the same time. The report offers enhanced understanding of gaps and opportunities in agribusiness financing.
