Featured deal
Fedgroup extends agri finance across borders
Fedgroup is sowing new seeds and this time, we’re taking root across Africa. As part of our diversification strategy, we’re branching out beyond South Africa’s borders.
So, what’s the deal? Fedgroup has co-funded the purchase of a citrus farm in South Africa, with additional expansions on farms in Mozambique and Zambia. The focus is on two deliciously lucrative products: citrus and avocados. Our partners, Verdant Orchards, bring a proven track record of success in African agriculture, and together with one of Europe’s largest development financial institutions, we’re set to grow this opportunity into something really special.
This isn’t just about farming, it’s about transforming rural communities. The farms will create much-needed jobs, many of them skilled positions that can change the trajectory of local economies. And it’s not just about pay cheques, we’re working with our partners to go beyond job creation. Plans are already underway to build a school on one of the farms. It’s all about giving back, while still turning a profit.
Thanks to a thorough due diligence process and some creative structuring, we’re confident this project will yield great returns. And with a strong local presence on the ground, our partners are well-positioned to handle any risks of operating in foreign markets. This expansion is just the beginning. Africa’s agricultural potential is enormous, and with the right structures and partners in place, we’re ready for further growth. We’ve set clear milestones to track our progress – from hectares planted to jobs created, and everything in between.

Fedgroup finances revolutionary hydroponic greenhouse
Fedgroup's investment in financing the innovative hydroponic greenhouse operated by Clean Air Nurseries Agri Global (CAN-Agri) in Pretoria, South Africa, marks a significant milestone in the realm of SA’s agricultural innovation.
Hydroponic farming, a revolutionary approach to cultivation, eliminates soil dependency and maximises resource efficiency by delivering essential nutrients directly to plant roots in a water-based solution. CAN-Agri’s patented tech and cutting-edge techniques allow for precise control over environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light, resulting in optimal conditions for plant growth.
Located in Pretoria, South Africa, this hydroponic greenhouse represents a beacon of sustainable agriculture in a region grappling with food security challenges and environmental concerns. By harnessing the power of hydroponics, CAN-Agri not only ensures a consistent supply of high-quality organic produce but also mitigates the environmental footprint associated with traditional farming methods. With our financial backing, CAN-Agri can scale its operations and contribute to the local economy while promoting sustainable practices.
One of the key advantages of hydroponic farming is its ability to produce crops with extended shelf life compared to traditional farming methods. By eliminating soil-borne diseases and pests, as well as minimising water usage, hydroponic systems reduce the risk of crop spoilage and contamination. This translates to fresher, healthier produce for consumers and fewer losses for farmers, thereby bolstering food security and economic resilience.
Moreover, CAN-Agri's hydroponic greenhouse employs patented technology across multiple territories, including the US, UK, Europe, Japan, Australia, and Taiwan. This international footprint not only underscores the global relevance of hydroponic farming but also positions CAN-Agri as a leader in agricultural innovation on the world stage. Through precision farming techniques and state-of-the-art equipment, the greenhouse accelerates plant growth, ensuring higher yields and greater efficiency in resource utilisation.
Fedgroup's involvement in financing this ground-breaking project goes beyond mere financial support; it signifies a deep commitment to pioneering advancements in agriculture and promoting sustainable development. By partnering with CAN-Agri, Fedgroup aligns its investment strategy with its broader mission of driving positive social and environmental impact. Together, we will pave the way for a more resilient and sustainable food system, one that prioritises innovation, efficiency, and environmental stewardship.

Exclusively available to our beneficiaries, Iteke offers matriculants invaluable work experience and guidance, bridging the gap between schooling and securing gainful employment, especially for those lacking the means to pursue tertiary education.
Meaning "challenge yourself" in Sepedi, the Iteke programme provides learners with a year-long immersion in mentorship, work experience, and a SETA-accredited tertiary qualification, preparing them for future success.
Recognising the significant impact of further education and work experience on employment prospects, we've launched the Iteke Learnership Programme to address the high unemployment rates in our country.
