About Us - African Growth Investment

Story of AGI

Food Security on the African continent is dependent on the availability of land and water. When those pillars of food production are available, farmers need access to inputs, finances, storage and logistics to produce food commodities. From here, farmers seek a marketplace to convert such commodities into a financial event. In order to provide these key elements to farmers and grow food production, investment into Africa's agricultural market is needed. This is where AGI comes in at the forefront of transforming agriculture in Africa. Our mission is to boost productivity, enhance food security, and foster sustainable growth in the Africa.

African Growth Investment (Pty) Ltd (“AGI”) is a South African Based company founded with a clear purpose to invest in business opportunities and establish platforms to drive its vision to expand food production and by doing such, play a transformational role in food certainty on the African continent.
