One Acre Fund Uganda Investment Analyst

One Acre Fund Uganda Investment Analyst

One Acre Fund ; was founded in 2006, One Acre Fund supplies 1 million smallholder farmers with the agricultural services they need to make their farms vastly more productive.

One Acre launched Smallholder Resilience Ventures (SRV) to capitalize value chains, supporting early stage agribusinesses and increasing climate adaptation. The idea is to combine:

Market Access: Aggregating produce from smallholder farmers, focusing on high-value climate resilient crops
Small and Medium Enterprise investments: Investing with debt and equity, and providing technical assistance to companies along the value chain
Venture Studio: Where businesses do not exist, launching new ones.
By addressing multiple value chain challenges simultaneously (e.g., inputs and end markets), we can create a virtuous cycle of increasing profits for farmers and businesses.

About the Role
