Facing the Facts... Sensible Solutions

“Understand the economic logic and you’re closer to an answer, that in the real world, makes sense.”
Our Footprint
Sub-Saharan Africa
Our team and projects extend across sub-Saharan Africa, but as our team work in English and French we're ideal partners for work in West Africa.
Our enviable network of skilled local consultants across sub-Saharan Africa gives us access to high quality local data, local business networks and insider information.
Key EU and US Markets
Thanks to private sector experience in Western markets we're able to access importers, investors and development partners.
Built for Africa
It's no accident that we're based in South Africa.
Right on our doorstep we have access to research institutes, agricultural experts and thousands of farmers and processors of different sizes, all who understand African climate and context.
You could say that it's the best place to be if you want easy access to technology and know-how built for Africa.
