WELCOME TO ATRIA TRADE INVESTMENTS
Africa has emerged as a key market for commodities financing and a viable alternative investments destination.
The African Story
Africa, with a wealth of natural resources, a developing infrastructure, an improving business environment, in addition to a working population set to double by 2050, represents a unique investment opportunity and a real source of diversification versus traditional markets.
Trade Finance Gap
Commodity prices have reached new highs, supply chains disruptions keep on affecting delivery cycles, and financial institutions continue to move away from the mid-market trade finance sector, creating an explosive working capital liquidity crisis in the underserved segment of agri-business in Africa.
Agricultural Commodity Supply Shock
As a result, the traditional agricultural trade flows are negatively impacted, and the compounded effects of the global commodity supply shock resulting from the East European conflict is increasing the need for new trade finance solutions while raising new fears of possible food security issues in importing countries.
Sweet-Spot Opportunities
Agri-business mid-market players are searching for new commercial partners - combining the expertise of the alternative financier with the experience of the commodity trader - that can offer on-the-ground responsiveness, customised trading know-how and short-term innovative funding facilities solutions.
