The African agricultural sector presents an exciting opportunity for both return and impact. The key to achieving both is to carefully direct investments to 'fix' issues in particular agricultural value chains. This unlocks that value chain, raising incomes for smallholder farmers and, depending on the investment, substantially reducing potential deforestation.
SilverStreet Capital's investments have created over 4,000 high-quality jobs and have had an enormous multiplier effect. As this report shows, they estimate 577,000 people have directly benefitted economically, most of whom are smallholder farmers, and some 64% of whom are women. These farmers have seen their annual incomes rise by ~53%, an extraordinary boost.
