What you're funding
An 1,800-hectare commercial farm cluster in the Kaduna river basin, structured as an outgrower-anchored SPV. Solar-powered centre-pivot irrigation, mechanised tillage and on-site aggregation silos enable two cropping cycles per year.

- Solar-powered centre-pivot irrigation across 1,200 ha
- 12,000-tonne aggregation and drying silos on site

Questions investors ask
What happens if a harvest underperforms?+
Multi-peril crop insurance through NAIC covers yield shortfalls from drought, flood or pests, and a 6-month debt service reserve smooths cash flows between harvests.
How are smallholder farmers involved?+
1,400 outgrowers receive subsidised inputs, mechanisation and extension support, then sell produce back to the SPV at a guaranteed floor price.
