A surging global population demands long-term accessibility to affordable food. FMO finances sustainable agribusiness companies throughout the value chain, including farming, processing and distribution operations.

OUR VISION

Achieving long term sustainability in global agribusiness production requires large investments targeted at improving farming practices, increasing yields and reducing waste. Food security and access to affordable nourishment are crucial in developing countries, where 60-80% of income is spent on food.
