Investment advisory for the agri-food value chain
 
Production → Processing → Packaging → Cold Chain & Agri-Food Logistics → Markets

Growplan supports agri-food businesses, packhouses, processing units, cold chain and agri-food logistics companies, as well as cooperatives, producer groups and producer organisations, in the planning, financing and implementation of growth investments.

The problem is that many investments start from the available funding programme, instead of starting from the real need, potential and strategic direction of the business.
An investment does not become successful simply because it “fits” into a funding programme. It becomes successful when it has clear business logic, a realistic financial model, technical maturity, financing readiness and the ability to be implemented.
In agri-food, every investment decision affects much more than a budget: production capacity, product quality, cost, storage, refrigeration, packaging, logistics, certifications and access to markets.

The solution for us is to look at the investment first and the funding programme afterwards. Growplan acts as an investment strategy advisor, helping the business assess whether the investment makes sense, how it should be designed, which funding tool fits best and how it can be implemented with confidence.
From the initial feasibility assessment and business case to the investment file, financing, technical maturity and implementation monitoring, we support businesses that want to invest with planning, documentation and long-term perspective.

We look at the investment first. The funding programme comes afterwards.
