About The Fund

Moringa is a private equity impact investment fund headquartered in Paris, France, with a focus on sustainable investment in the forest and environmental sectors. They target agroforestry projects specifically located in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, with an investment approach that seeks to combine economic growth potential with significant social and environmental impact. Moringa's investment thesis is based on partnering with initiatives that foster sound and sustainable agroforestry practices, with a view to generating long-term value and positive outcomes for both communities and ecosystems. Their investment strategy is crafted to support entrepreneurs who implement projects that align with their sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria. Moringa invests in a variety of industries, including IT, BioTech, Hardware, Manufacturing, Energy, CleanTech, and Life Sciences, with a particular emphasis on agroforestry and environmental ventures. The fund has a clear cap for investments, committing exactly 6 million euros to ensure meaningful participation and influence in the growth and strategic direction of its portfolio companies. Some examples of their investments include ComaFruits to support the organic mango industry in Mali, B-BOVID for sustainable palm oil production in Ghana, and Jus Dlice in Togo for a juice processing plant supplied by local agriculture. Their portfolio reflects a commitment to generating financial returns alongside measurable impact, targeting ambitious sustainability objectives. Moringa offers a Technical Assistance Facility alongside their Private Equity fund to provide hands-on support and expertise, aiming to bolster success for their partner ventures. The firm maintains an open submission and selection process for potential agroforestry entrepreneurs seeking investment and partnership, reflecting their commitment to transparency and collaboration in pursuit of sustainable development goals.
