AGRICULTURE
The growth of agriculture in developing countries is critical
for the growth of the poorest countries and for poverty
eradication, particularly in Africa.
Thintane Investments interest in the agricultural sector is focused on market-driven
value chains, with particular emphasis on export-oriented ventures. Recent focus has
been directed towards establishing business relationships within the citrus and
macadamia nut industries and considering solutions for the reconstitution of livestock
value chains.
These endeavours have been undertaken both in facilitating transformation within each
sector and in considering direct investment opportunities. Thintane Investments
agricultural ventures are structured to promote economic inclusion and expansion
through joint ventures with and support for emerging farmers and community
landowners, driven by synergies initiated with relevant Government stakeholders.
The identification of progressive and influential domestic and international operational
partners, to provide advanced technical and operational competence and to unlock
market networks, is a key consideration for all agricultural ventures.
Thintane Investments has significant experience in structuring and developing
public-private ventures in the agriculture, forestry and biomass-energy sector.
