A leading integrated agricultural supply chain company is seeking structured debt to catalyze the next phase of its expansion across West Africa and Asia. The funding will enable the company 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 Côte d’Ivoire and Vietnam, where the company is deepening its processing footprint in high-value crops including cashew and sesame. These investments are expected to drive operational efficiency, improve climate resilience, and enhance end-to-end traceability across regional agri-supply chains.
The sponsor is a Singapore-headquartered, integrated agricultural supply chain platform with operations spanning 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. It operates a vertically integrated model supported by a robust infrastructure backbone and long-standing local partnerships, enabling strong traceability and compliance with international quality and sustainability standards.
The company operates across three core business segments: origination and supply chain management, processing, and branded retail and B2B distribution. Its processing facilities are located across Africa and Asia, including West Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, with multiple value-addition hubs supporting regional and global markets.
The platform works with a network of over 150,000 smallholder farmers and employs more than 1,500 women across its processing units, embedding inclusive growth and sustainability at the core of its operating model.
Calculus Carbon is serving as the strategic advisor 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 the sponsor to design a structured debt or convertible financing instrument aligned with 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 engagement, Calculus Carbon aims to mobilize catalytic capital that accelerates the development of resilient, inclusive, and climate-smart agricultural value chains across priority emerging markets.
