ETG was established in 1967 as an independent African-based commodity trader. Since then, it has grown to become one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing integrated agricultural conglomerates with operating entities located in more than 50 countries. Its activities cover the entire farm-to-table value chain including procurement, warehousing, processing and/or manufacturing of finished food products, transportation, and distribution of fast-moving consumer goods.
The loan will allow ETG to strengthen and expand its operations across the agricultural value chain. These improvements will indirectly support smallholder farmers and create new jobs while also contributing to more sustainable and climate-resilient agricultural practices and supporting access to critical food supplies across the continent.
