Aqua-Spark is turning its attention to Africa with a new $48m fund targeting the continent's fast-growing market for sustainable proteins.
Dutch impact investment firm Aqua-Spark has closed the first round of a new Africa-focused aquaculture fund at $48m, as part of a longer-term plan to deploy $250m across Sub-Saharan Africa over the next decade.
The open-ended fund, Aqua-Spark Africa, will invest across the aquaculture supply chain, including farming, feed, genetics, and cold storage, with a focus on building regional industry hubs.
