Investment Showcase

CRU and AFAP are working with partners across Africa to offer brownfield projects that are seeking capital, the chance to make a showcase presentation.

We have selected qualified and categorised projects that are seeking investment of over US$1m in brownfield projects, and are focused on fertilizer, agri-inputs supply chain, agriculture, agro processing, and/or value addition sectors. Investors that attend the showcase will be provided with a full package of information, and will have the opportunity to meet and discuss with the project leaders seeking finance.

For further information, please contact Tom Willatt

Showcase presentations at the forthcoming conference will include:    

Kitovu Technology
Kitovu is a Nigerian agtech company which uses soil and market demand data to remove the guesswork and supply chain inefficiencies from the agricultural value chain of sub-saharan Africa. Its project is to set up a decentralised inputs supply system that makes it easier for smallholder farmers to access fertilizers and reduce supply chain costs while creating jobs for youths through its channel partnership model.
