CASE STUDY
AVV Ghana used it’s investment facilitation skills and understanding of market systems principles to facilitate a new offtake agreement with a tech-based platform called AgroInnova, for one of AVV’s investee companies, GINAAL, an egg company. This new, co-created solution has resulted in GINAAL benefitting from regular and formal offtake, new and growing market channel as well as visibility of market performance; AgroInnova gets a medium-sized company as client, helping this early stage innovative tech platform SME to grow its revenues and relationships; and Investor (AVV) gets repaid in more reliable way, thereby demonstrating viability of such investment in the future (systemic result in terms of access to patient capital for missing-middle ag companies who are mostly written off by lenders).
