Summary
Date Posted: Wednesday, February 07 2024, Base Salary: Not Disclosed

JOB DETAILS:
Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund supplies 1 million smallholder farmers with the agricultural services they need to make their farms more productive.
One Acre Fund launched a new initiative called Smallholder Resilience Ventures (SRV) to capitalize value chains, supporting early stage agribusinesses and increasing climate adaptation. The idea is to combine:
1. Market Access: Aggregating produce from smallholder farmers, focusing on high value climate friendly crops
2. Small and Medium Enterprise investments: Investing with debt, equity, and mezzanine and providing technical assistance to companies along the value chain
3. Venture Studio: Where businesses do not exist, launching new ones.
We hypothesize that by addressing multiple value chain challenges simultaneously (e.g. both inputs and end-markets), we can create a virtuous cycle of increasing profits for farmers and businesses.
