INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

Beryl Holdings has also set up an agro-commodity platform and through its partners is heavily involved in the Agricultural Commodity space and is now trading various commodities across the Continent.

Given the past success and exciting opportunities of agribusiness in Africa, a concerted focus on this single sector presents the best opportunity for realizing the economic growth and social transformation on the continent.

Considering this, Beryl Group made a decision to venture into this sector to support the African industry as a whole, to unlock value for the African farmers and to cater for the huge demand for maize, wheat, soya beans, fertilizers, agricultural chemicals within Southern Africa, as current installed capacity is not meeting this demand.

Against the above stated background, Beryl has aligned the following Trade Parameters, which are vital for viable Agriculture Trade:
