Agriculture & Agri-Value Chains

At Lord Waverley Global, we view agriculture as a cornerstone for sustainable development and economic transformation across emerging and frontier markets. Our approach focuses on unlocking value across the full agri-value chain—from primary production to processing, logistics, storage, export, and market access.

We work with sovereign governments, agribusinesses, cooperatives, and financial institutions to design and implement scalable solutions that:

Increase productivity and resilience of smallholder and commercial farms through technology adoption, climate-smart practices, and mechanization.
Strengthen agri-processing and agro-industrial zones by attracting investment, facilitating public-private partnerships, and supporting enabling infrastructure.
Enhance trade linkages and export readiness by aligning with international quality standards, building traceability systems, and developing market intelligence platforms.
Mobilize capital for agri-projects via blended finance structures, guarantee instruments, sovereign-backed programs, and diaspora investment initiatives.

Through our global networks and access to high-level decision-makers, we create pathways for strategic collaborations, market entry, and investment facilitation that elevate agriculture from subsistence to scale.

Whether it’s cocoa in West Africa, coffee in East Africa, rice in Southeast Asia, or sustainable livestock in Latin America, Lord Waverley Global stands ready to support agri-led growth that delivers food security, economic empowerment, and export competitiveness.
