“Canada is home to some of the best agriculture and agri-food companies in the world, and this is a sector with serious growth opportunity ahead of it. We’re backing the companies with the proven fundamentals to scale, and bringing a partner to the table who brings more than capital through their deep understanding and knowledge of the Southeast Asian market. And, when Southeast Asian companies see opportunity here, we will work to partner in helping them set up and create jobs and facilities, bringing economic impact in Canada.”
Growth capital for Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector
We are a growth equity fund backing Canadian agriculture and agri-food companies that are proven and scaling at home and who either wish to or are exporting into Asia.
Why now
The agriculture and agri-food sector is increasingly important to every nation and is drawing investors worldwide. Its time is now, and Canada is well positioned to become a superpower in developing and commercializing it.
Velocity Agri-Capital was formed to meet that opportunity. With resources on the ground in Singapore, Velocity is well equipped to help grow Canadian agriculture and agri-food companies export into Asian markets and bring new Southeast Asian investment into Canada’s ag and food sectors.
Our team has over a decade of experience in the food and agriculture space, with professionals in Canada and Singapore. We have collectively deployed over $1.2 billion in the ag and food sector across Asia and Canada, and can meaningfully help growing mid-size Canadian companies scale and export.
All figures in Canadian dollars.
What we back
We back growth-stage Canadian companies with the proven fundamentals to scale, across agriculture and agri-food:
- Controlled environment agriculture and other next generation production systems
- Supply chain infrastructure and manufacturing facilities
- Branded and private label consumer goods and ingredients
- Southeast Asian companies expanding and domiciling in Canada
How we work
We back Canadian companies across agriculture and agri-food, from controlled environment agriculture and supply chain infrastructure to branded consumer goods, and help them scale at home, across North America, and into Asia. We also look for opportunities for Southeast Asian companies to expand and domicile in Canada, bringing new jobs and foreign direct investment with them.
