Creation of an investment fund

For a long time marginalized by banks and financial institutions in favor of trade Ivorian agriculture remains an essential pillar of the Ivorian economy. Indeed this sector is the spearhead of the agricultural policies conducted by the State for several decades in order to guarantee food security in the face of rapid population growth. Despite the measures taken by the State to improve agricultural production and product diversification financing difficulties persist and are holding back investment in this high-potential value-added sector. Thus to remove this constraint imposed by the current financial system to agricultural enterprises and especially to small farmers we have considered a new type of investment in this sector based on the investment fund model. This financing model although it has certain limitations seems to us innovative and ideal for the agricultural sector. We have therefore found it opportune within the framework of our professional project to draw inspiration from it for the establishment of an investment fund dedicated to agriculture in Côte d'Ivoire.
