Mobilising investment to support sustainable development goals

Our innovative investment funds make investing in rural communities and threatened landscapes commercially attractive, delivering returns on investment and real sustainable development.

Our goal is to develop innovative financial instruments that catalyse investments in smallholder farmer- and agri SME-based business models to facilitate thriving businesses and rural communities and to protect the environment.

We typically focus on managing financial instruments and structures that are not offered or insufficiently available in the market. As we increase our offering of funds and blended finance, we will crowd in more commercial investors – demonstrating that creating impact in the agricultural sector can deliver financial returns.

More than just a fund manager

Our deep understanding of agri value chains and extensive partner network put us in a unique position as fund managers – leveraging both field-level insights and public sector financial support.

By actively engaging with rural communities, agri SMEs and other value chain actors investees we identify and develop impactful investment opportunities. We also consult with our investees on impact, ESG and investment-related topics – with the possibility of Technical Assistance funding for capacity development.  Sharing lessons learned and disseminating insights in the market to trigger further investments in the agri sector. 

Four years after establishing the IDH Farmfit Fund, we’ve built a diversified investment portfolio across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. We are confident in reaching our target of 3 million farmers and, despite the Fund's high-risk nature, expect to return capital to donors and investors.
