Green Earth Group N.V. (“Green Earth” or “the Group”) (Euronext: EARTH: NL0009169515), a leading end-to-end developer of nature-based solutions, has successfully completed its first investment in the Ghanaian agricultural sector. Through a strategic partnership with Pangea Global Ventures (“Pangea”), Green Earth has provided structured financing to FarmerTribe Limited (“FarmerTribe”) to strengthen a resilient agricultural supply chain in Ghana by building a modern rice milling facility.
Key highlights
-
Transaction overview: The investment targets critical bottlenecks within the Ghanaian rice supply chain, enabling FarmerTribe to transition from a raw-material aggregator into a high-value processor. A dedicated loan facility supports the completion of a modern rice milling facility in Walewale, enabling local processing and helping retain value and profits within the community instead of flowing to external industrial processors.
-
Smallholder integration and liquidity: A working capital facility allows FarmerTribe to pay its network of 5,000 smallholder farmers immediately upon harvest. This reduces dependence on intermediaries and predatory pricing, supporting fair and stable incomes while strengthening long-term supply chain loyalty.
-
Security and risk mitigation: The facility is fully secured through a Fixed and Floating Debenture and a Legal Mortgage over the Walewale site, providing robust collateral protection for the transaction. Risk is mitigated through continuous local monitoring and rigorous securitisation. Local administration and oversight are provided by Pangea, ensuring strong on-the-ground governance and operational control.
-
Strategic partnership and repeatable framework: This transaction represents the first execution of the strategic partnership between Green Earth and Pangea. By combining Green Earth’s capital with Pangea’s local administration and oversight, the partnership establishes a secure and replicable model for investing in agricultural supply chains in frontier markets. The legal structure has been designed to enable repeat investments under the same framework.
Green Earth's end-to-end model
Green Earth operates as an end-to-end project developer. This vertical integration supports higher integrity for natural capital assets and reduces reliance on external pre-issuance funding. The model is built around four integrated pillars:
-
Project development: Full-cycle execution from land origination to the final delivery of carbon units, spanning agroforestry, regenerative agriculture, and high-impact cookstove projects.
-
Technology: Proprietary AI-enabled tools support satellite-based monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV), ensuring precision carbon analytics and real-time data across all projects.
-
Sales and trading: Direct market access and end-to-end monetisation through Green Earth’s own trading desk, maximising value for carbon and biodiversity credits without reliance on external brokers.
-
Asset management: The growth engine of the Group, focused on accelerating global investments in nature restoration, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability.
The strength of the model lies in its four integrated pillars. While these units are designed to work together to provide a seamless transition from field to market, they are also built to act as standalone profit centres. The Ghana financing transaction is a clear example of Green Earth’s ability to deploy capital independently through its Asset Management arm.
Selwyn Duijvestijn, CEO of Green Earth, commented: “This transaction is the first manifestation of our standalone end-to-end developer model. By integrating finance directly into the development cycle, we are no longer just developers—we are engineers of the entire impact value chain. This financing facility proves that our asset management division can move capital efficiently to where it generates the highest resilience for smallholder farmers and the most secure returns for our stakeholders.”
John Scicchitano, CEO of Pangea, added: "We are pleased to partner with Green Earth on this inaugural facility. This deal demonstrates how professionalised capital, when paired with diligent local administration, can unlock the potential of high-growth enterprises like FarmerTribe. It establishes a powerful precedent for how we will continue to bridge the gap between international investors and the African agricultural value chain."
