_x000C_The proposed India Agribusiness Fund (IAF or the Fund) is a $100 million sector-specific fund that will invest equity in small and medium-sized companies in the Indian food and agribusiness sector. Its target industries will span the agricultural value chain, ranging from contract farming at the primary end and key elements of the agricultural supply chain (e.g. cold storage chains) to food processing and rural retail, with expected deal sizes of $3-10 million per transaction. The agribusiness sector in India is currently marked by several small to medium companies of which few have made the transition to global scale and competitiveness. IAF’s specialized sector focus and expertise is expected to aid and improve the scalability, operational efficiency and strategic and business development initiatives of these companies. The fund will seek significant minority stakes with investor rights and active board participation.
