💥These are the TOP 50 most active funds and institutional investors in Latin America's broad food🍲 and agriculture🌾investment space! 🔎There is a combination of local and regional focus, strategies ranging from early stage through growth equity to buyouts and ag real assets, spanning the entire value chain. Most notably, as we enter 2025, the regional investment space will be in flux as older funds look to exit existing portfolios while new funds and investors deploy new capital. This context has become complex amid more volatile commodity prices, expensive financing, extreme climate, and uncertainty on global trade⚠️. 💡If anything, 2025 will bring opportunities in the Latin American food and agriculture sector for those who are patient and able to navigate the different cycles we face📈. At Valoral Advisors, we actively advise on various deals and are always glad to exchange ideas and insights with people interested in our sector. Thank you! #Latam #NaturalCapital #RealAssets #Agriculture #Farmland #Food #Nutrition #AgriFoodTech

To harness the power of the private sector as a catalyst for positive change—driving both profitability and, more importantly, lasting social and environmental impact—we need visionary entrepreneurs and a robust ecosystem of financial partners committed to supporting their growth. At EcoEnterprises Fund, we are proud to approach the 10-year milestone of our partnership with FLP, an exemplary impact business that promotes sustainable agriculture and long-term collaboration with small growers in Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. And we are excited that FLP has secured additional investment from another strong impact partner, responsAbility Investments AG. We look forward to joining forces to continue supporting FLP’s mission and expanding its positive impact! #impactinvesting #naturalclimatesolutions #sustainablefoodsystems #flpglobal #flpcolombia #flpperu #EcoenterprisesFund
