Sustainable agriculture broadens its appeal

Organic & Sustainable Agriculture Spot On

Organic and sustainable agriculture is riding high thanks to significant population growth and expanding consumer preferences for such food production systems. As a key part of the burgeoning sustainability movement, this market has attracted notable investment and recent M&A activity has grown briskly.

 

In Africa, sustainable food systems are not just a goal, they’re a necessity in the face of a booming population, increasing urbanization and rising living standards. We put the focus on three countries — Morocco, South Africa and Tanzania — which are continent leaders in exports and growth.

 

Oaklins tracks firms across the globe in four sub-sectors of this industry, and here we report on publicly traded valuation trends and a selection of listed players, as well as key M&A transactions from the latter part of 2019.

Spotlight
