AgDevCo is an impact investor operating exclusively in Africa’s agricultural sector, supporting commercially viable agribusinesses that drive sustainable development in rural areas. Established in 2009, AgDevCo has grown from an early-stage philanthropic initiative into a leading investor with over $280 million under management and operations in nine countries. Its portfolio spans enterprises that enhance food security, increase productivity, and create employment across agricultural value chains.

Small Foundation was an early supporter of AgDevCo, providing core funding during its formative years to strengthen organisational capacity and attract further investment. Today, AgDevCo continues to demonstrate the power of catalytic capital in building commercially viable agribusinesses that deliver impact at scale.
