SEAF India Agribusiness Fund (SIAF) targets promising SMEs across India’s agribusiness value chain. Bolstered by a local team of experts in agribusiness finance, SEAF applies its global agribusiness experience, along with local sector knowledge, to generate substantial growth in Indian SMEs. SIAF provides long term investments with a double bottom line mission: to promote socially responsible economic development in India while generating a competitive return on investment.
India has a large agrarian economy, is one of the biggest producers of agricultural commodities in the world, boasts the world’s second largest amount of arable land, and has growing domestic demand for increased quantity and variety in food. Supported by a favorable policy environment and a young and wealthier consumer class, India offers significant investment opportunities in the agribusiness value chain and is poised to become a global player in these industries. Combined with opportunities to achieve higher productivity, value addition, and tech improvements, these trends present high growth prospects and financial and development returns for SIAF.

Impact thesis
SEAF tracks the developmental impacts of its investments in SMEs in emerging markets. Through its experience, SEAF has learned that fostering profitable, competitive local enterprises is a fundamental step in achieving sustainable development. Its partnerships with SMEs generate measureable results, increasing employment and wages for workers, creating business opportunities for local suppliers, and improving the quality and availability of products and services for the local community. Through case studies and data collection, SEAF calculates unique metrics on its investments across its portfolio.
SEAF’s analysis shows that for every $1 invested in an SME, an additional $12 in benefits returns to the community through a variety of stakeholders—from employees, suppliers, customers and competitors, to local governments and communities. As these businesses modernize and grow stronger, so do local families and communities. With the stable jobs, growing incomes, and valuable job training provided by SMEs, families can plan for their futures – investing in housing, health care, and education that can end the cycle of poverty and build the foundation for a more prosperous society.
