Accite - Gaborone - Botswana

Accite is a boutique project development and impact investment firm that focuses on technology-led, sustainable commercial agriculture projects that spur economic diversification and employment of youth and women. Accite’s investment philosophy marries proven western technologies with localized business models to create pioneering businesses.

Food security is a major global concern, the consequences of which are most acutely felt in Africa and other emerging markets. Accite believes that technology-led, sustainable agriculture is a viable growth sector for Africa’s transformation. We are focused on changing the performance and perception of this sector to make it an attractive option for Africa’s biggest potential asset: the youth.  Each business is focused on filling a key demand gap in the supply chain, while extending the commercial model to community out-growers, to transform smallholders into key members of the value chain.

Combining technology, capacity building and strategic capital investments, agricultural projects will enable the continent to be more food-secure, and reduce the risk of conflict and malnutrition.
