Agriculture

Climate change, population growth and urbanisations threaten the food security of millions of people.

Climate change, population growth and urbanisations threaten the food security of millions of people. Many developing countries continue to import food because the productivity and crops of their own agriculture are inadequate.

Improving the productivity of agriculture in a sustainable manner creates jobs and raises the income of people dependent on farming.

Finnfund invests across the entire agricultural value chain to improve primary farm production, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. At the end of 2025, Finnfund’s investments (portfolio and commitments) in agriculture were worth 59.2 million euros, representing approximately 5% of our portfolio.
