Africa Food & Agri Fund

The Agri-Business Capital Fund (ABC Fund) was initiated by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in 2019 to foster inclusive and sustainable rural development. It is a social impact fund that aims to support smallholder farmers and small-to-medium-sized rural agribusinesses by providing loans and other forms of financial support. The fund employs a blended finance structure, combining public and private capital from partners including the European Union, the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), the Luxembourg Government, and the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). The ABC Fund is managed by Bamboo Capital Partners, a specialist impact investor, in partnership with Injaro, an investment advisor focused on West Africa.
