Private Shareholders
Jacoma Estates Limited was founded in 2007 by a group of private investors. In 2008, Jacoma’s Malawian subsidiary, Tropha Estates Limited was incorporated and started operations. In 2014, the Company, realising the need for irrigation, partnered with Pearl Capital Partners, through the African Agriculture Capital Fund, and AgDevCo, through its Malawian operation, to invest in irrigation and accelerate the development of the Company and its social impact through the farming networks it had developed.
2017 has marked another milestone in the business with a second funding round which has seen CDC Group plc invest $8m alongside a further $3.5m from AgDevCo and $0.5m from AACF. The new funding will assist Jacoma to expand its production base and further support small holder farmers through building stronger market links.
