Our expertise
Agriculture is the primary source of income across Africa, employing 65–70% of the labor force and sustaining the livelihoods of nearly all rural households. The sector contributes 30–40% of GDP in many countries, and agricultural growth is proven to be up to four times more effective in reducing poverty than growth in other industries - particularly in lower-income economies.
At OSEC Management, we support international SMEs and investors seeking to develop high-impact agricultural and livestock ventures in Africa. Through a turnkey, end-to-end process built on more than 90 years of OSEC’s experience on the continent, we help design, structure, and operationalise resilient agribusiness projects. Leveraging our deep regional expertise and extensive local networks, we work with private investors, global SMEs, and key sector partners to build sustainable, profitable agricultural and livestock value chains across Africa.
Africa, like most emerging markets, lacks a robust local manufacturing ecosystem in core sectors such as agri-processing, energy, logistics, packaging, and industrial supply chains.
At OSEC Management, we help international SMEs bridge this gap by establishing solid, sustainable operations in Africa through a turnkey, end-to-end process built on more than 90 years of OSEC’s experience on the continent. Leveraging our deep regional expertise and trusted network, we work closely with private investors, international SMEs, and key economic partners to design, develop, and operationalize high-impact industrial and commercial ventures across Africa.
At OSEC Management, we help turn ambitious concepts into fully financed, bankable ventures across Africa. Leveraging over 90 years of operational experience and longstanding relationships with financial institutions, investment partners, and development actors, we are uniquely positioned to co-invest and structure complete project financing solutions for international SMEs and private investors.
Our approach covers the entire value chain — from feasibility and due diligence to financial engineering, investor syndication, and long-term operational support. By combining deep sector knowledge with robust local insights, OSEC enables high-potential projects to secure the capital, partnerships, and on-the-ground execution needed to thrive sustainably in African markets.
