About AgriFunds

A transparent working map of blended finance for agricultural SMEs

AgriFunds turns a public ecosystem map into a structured portfolio intelligence workspace. The goal is not to claim complete market coverage, but to make relationships, disclosed capital, gaps, and source confidence easier to inspect.

Data Sources

Inputs are public, mixed-quality, and still expanding

Each source contributes a different layer: fund profiles, LP commitments, portfolio company links, or direct project investments.

Public fund materials

Fund websites, annual reports, press releases, GIIN materials, Convergence references, and other public disclosures are used to validate fund profiles, capital stacks, portfolio reach, and stated terms.

Institutional project data

DFI and donor disclosures such as FMO, DFC, BII, DEG, IFC, IATI, USAspending.gov, and related project databases are used to enrich commitments and direct company or project investments.

Manual review

Where disclosures are incomplete, records are normalized by hand, estimates are marked as such, and source confidence is retained for review instead of treating every fact as equally certain.

Scope and Limitations

Coverage is limited to funds and investments with meaningful public disclosure. Amounts, dates, instruments, and tranche data can be incomplete or estimated. The platform keeps those gaps visible so the dataset can improve over time without overstating precision.

Help make the AgriFunds dataset stronger

AgriFunds is built from public sources and practical enrichment. If you spot a correction, missing fund, new deal, source link, or better classification, please send it to [email protected].

I'm consdering introducing an in-tool way to propose changes directly, backed by an approval and review workflow. For now, email is the simplest way to suggest changes and enrich the data.
