We see the placement result as an excellent basis for implementing our sustainable projects. We will continue to work with some sustainable investors to finalize the ongoing investment process.”

Agri Resources Group will invest the inflowing funds in the further development of its sustainable activities in Madagascar, Ghana, Mauritius and Benin in order to, on the one hand, meet the steadily increasing demand for specialities such as vanilla from international blue-chip customers in the food and cosmetics industries in Europe, Africa and Asia. On the other hand, the company also supplies its regional African markets and neighbouring countries with basic foodstuffs, benefiting from the steadily increasing demand there and making an important contribution to a secure food supply in countries such as Ghana or the Republic of Congo. Agri Resources Group is aiming for double-digit annual revenue growth and disproportionately rising earnings until 2024.
