Context :
Holding Du Passage was created thanks to the success of La Laiterie du Berger. The initial shareholding structure was finalized at the end of 2022, and the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation, along with other Crédit Agricole Group entities, has taken an anchor position in terms of both equity and governance.
The company:
Holding Du Passage (HDP) is an innovative investment vehicle that brings together Senegalese and French experts and entrepreneurs with the aim of accelerating and developing promising West African SMEs involved in the development of a financially sustainable, socially inclusive and climate-resilient local agricultural value chain.
Impact :
HDP will intervene by providing:
- Appropriate financing solutions (equity and debt) to unlock investment potential for growth
- Experienced senior managers to be part of operational teams and develop excellent internal skills for key operations throughout the scaling journey
- Strategic support through the establishment of effective governance, which can lead to a partnership with a strategic player to accelerate the learning curve of local operations, while keeping them adapted to the specific context
