Taking the Lead in Agribusiness Globalization

Nowhere is globalization more evident than in the agribusiness sector that dominates the Midlands. With the growing importance of food security and water management throughout the world, capital is now being focused on agribusiness development throughout the emerging and frontier markets.

Agribusinesses located in the Midlands are seizing the initiative with foreign direct investment, as well as exporting equipment, technology and management expertise to every corner of the world. Baird Holm is taking the lead in advising agribusiness firms as they pursue opportunities in the major regions of agricultural development. With expertise in both emerging market private equity and non-traditional finance from sources such as OPIC, USAID and others, we are well-positioned to provide the know-how to get transactions done where there are unique country and market risks.

Recent representation includes:

  • A Midlands-based food company establishing joint ventures to distribute a product in each of China, India and Mexico
  • A Midlands-based manufacturing company to distribute product, and produce private-label products for distribution, in several countries in Latin-America
  • A consortium of Midlands-based companies establishing a joint venture in China
  • A Midlands-based investor establishing a joint venture with a Central European food producer in order to create a supply chain for a commodity
  • A Midlands-based manufacturer establishing distribution in the China and the Philippines
  • A Midlands-based monetization agent acting on behalf of numerous NGOs to sell thousands of metric tons of commodities into various African countries pursuant to an awards under the USDA Food For Progress Program
