Catalyzing Structured Debt Investment in Agricultural Supply Chain & Processing Company in Ivory Coast and Vietnam

Valency International is seeking structured debt to catalyze the next phase of its expansion across West Africa and Asia. The funding will enable Valency to scale its agricultural processing infrastructure, strengthen working capital for expanded operations, and invest in digital traceability and sustainability initiatives.

The proposed capital infusion will directly support growth in key markets such as Ivory Coast and Vietnam, where Valency is deepening its processing footprint in high-value crops like cashew and sesame. These investments will drive operational efficiency, improve climate resilience, and enhance traceability across Valency’s regional agri-supply chains.

Valency International, headquartered in Singapore, is a leading integrated agricultural supply chain company with operations across more than 20 countries. The group specializes in the sourcing, processing, and global distribution of key agricultural commodities, including cashew nuts, sesame, soybeans, rice, cocoa, and spices. With a robust infrastructure backbone and strong local partnerships, Valency ensures end-to-end traceability and compliance with international quality standards.

The company operates across three business segments: Origination & Supply Chain, Processing, and Branded Retail & B2B Distribution. Its processing units span Nigeria, Vietnam, India, and several value addition hubs across Africa and Asia.

With a network of over 150,000 farmers and 1,500+ women employed in its processing units, Valency integrates inclusive growth and sustainability at the core of its business model.

Calculus Carbon is serving as the strategic advisor to Valency International for this transaction, leveraging its expertise in climate finance and sustainable supply chains to support the structuring, positioning, and capital raise for the proposed investment. The firm is working closely with Valency to design a debt or other convertible financing instrument that aligns with both investor requirements and the company’s long-term growth strategy. In parallel, Calculus Carbon is facilitating engagement with impact-focused institutional investors, while embedding ESG performance indicators and digital traceability components into the investment thesis. Through this partnership, Calculus Carbon aims to mobilize catalytic capital that accelerates the development of resilient, inclusive, and climate-smart agricultural value chains across West Africa and other key markets.
