Venture capital interested in the powerful Spanish agri-food sector
According to data from the Spanish Association of Capital, Growth, and Investment (Ascri), private equity funds in Spain alone have 4,500 to 5,000 million available to invest. A significant part of that money goes to the Spanish agri-food sector, which proved to be one of the most resistant sectors in the pandemic.
“There is a growing demand for fresh products in Spain and in Europe with a limiting factor, i.e. the growing area. To date, it still has a very fragmented supply structure that offers winning projects possibilities to grow organically and inorganically,” stated Enrique Salamero, partner at AZ Capital.
