A common problem in most industries in Africa and the developing world is that the value chains are broken. If you trace products from raw materials to consumption, you find many places where there is dysfunctional or broken links. This is a key place to invest.

The key industry in developing nations is invariably agriculture. This is because 70-90% of people are subsistence farmers. Cheetah’s agribusiness investment strategy is to identify these weak or broken links in the food value chain and invest in them. This is the highest value place to invest because it serves segments of the value chain.

As a result thousands of farmers or tens of thousands of people can be served with even small investments.

Take a look at the projects currently at the top of our list for development. We’re joining with local people to develop projects where each can dramatically change the life of thousands or tens of thousands of people. How might you join in?
