Enterprises 6-step methodology™ to developing agricultural projects

If the project is bankable, we can source the funding.

Agri Enterprises collaborates with the 4 commercial banks that form the Banking Association of South Africa (BASA), leverages Agri SA’s network of more than 60 corporates that have shared their interest in bringing CSI / SED money to the projects.

It would not be the goal for project sponsor to pay for and fund this endeavor by themselves.
