    A rigorous agri-feasibility study is the foundation of any successful agricultural investment. It transforms a vision into a strategic action plan by thoroughly evaluating the technical, financial, environmental, and operational viability of a project before any capital is committed.

    We specialize in providing comprehensive, field-tested agri-feasibility studies. These studies empower our clients to make confident, data-driven decisions, whether they are starting a new business or expanding an existing one. Our studies provide the necessary clarity and foresight to secure financing, minimize risks, and ensure long-term success. Each study is tailored to the client’s strategic goals. For example, in Nigeria, we  designed a vertically integrated ingrower scheme that balanced investor returns with inclusive rural development.

  • Technical due-diligence

    Ensure that any agricultural business you are planning to invest in is consistent with its stated economic and corporate strategies, considering actual key assets: land, infrastructure, machinery and human skills.

    A technical due diligence is a critical step in the investment process, designed to validate the technical soundness, operational feasibility, and long-term sustainability of an agricultural project. It provides investors with a clear, unbiased assessment of the project’s strengths, weaknesses, and risks—before capital is committed. At Expert Farmer, we deliver rigorous, field-proven technical due diligence services that help clients make informed, confident investment decisions. Whether you're acquiring assets, entering a joint venture, or scaling operations, our due diligence process ensures that no technical blind spot is overlooked.

    Let's meet you expectations

    Each due diligence is customized to the investor’s objectives—whether it’s validating a sugar beet expansion in Kyrgyzstan, assessing fodder production in Egypt, or evaluating large-scale crop operations in Eastern Europe. Expert Farmer operates with full transparency and independence, our reports are trusted by banks, private equity firms, and agribusiness leaders for their objectivity and technical depth.
