Blended finance for sustainable food systems and rural development
Consultinghouse advises on blended finance facilities, development finance, and guarantee structures that connect DFI and international capital with food security, smallholder value-chain, and agro-processing projects across Africa.
Agriculture is where African development finance is most active and where returns depend on infrastructure that is often missing. Financing must address offtake, storage, and route to market together — a crop without cold chain or road access is not an investable asset.
