Commodity prices are reaching new highs, supply chain disruptions are creating bottlenecks, and financial institutions are moving away from the trade finance sector, creating a liquidity crisis in the underserved segment of agribusiness SMEs in Africa.

CapRock Capital Fund is a unique new investment vehicle built on the success of an existing hybrid trade finance Fund – combining short-term secured finance and profit participation – with a remarkable track record.
