Africa faces several complex and urgent challenges in its agricultural sector, including limited financing, climate vulnerabilities, low market access and underdeveloped value chains.
AgDevCo is a social impact investor focused on agriculture projects in Africa. Every dollar it has invested has already generated $2.50 of higher incomes for rural and peri-urban households through jobs and other income-generating opportunities.
One company supported by AgDevCo is Uzima Chicken. It’s a poultry company providing high-quality, dual-purpose day-old chicks to smallholder farmers. Their goal is to transform the poultry industry by offering birds that are more productive and disease-resistant than local breeds, thus improving livelihoods and food security.
