« Ce fonds privé qui fait grandir les PME africaines » : An article from Anne Cheyvialle on I&P for Le Figaro

In this article from Le Figaro, Anne Cheyvialle describes the rise of the Burkinabe agricultural processing company Agroserv, now the leading player in the maize value chain in Burkina Faso and on its way to becoming one of the most important players in West Africa, and how I&P, through its various financing and support vehicles, has contributed to this growth

I&P, through the I&P Acceleration in the Sahel (IPAS) program and Sinergi Burkina, has been supporting Agroserv since 2017 and has contributed to the scaling up of this Burkinabe agricultural SME created in 2008 by Siaka Sanon via different financing tools: seed financing and capital investment, support provided by the Sinergi Burkina team and technical assistance

In 2022, Oikocredit and I&P, this time through the IPAE 2 fund, jointly invested €6 2 million in Agroserv's capital, while financing partners BIO and EDFI AgriFi will lend the company another €6 million
