Yield Uganda Investment Fund, an agribusiness impact vehicle managed by Pearl Capital Partners, has struck its third deal in as many months by investing UGX6.79 billion ($1.8 million) in Sekajja Agro Farms Ltd, in a blend of equity and long-term debt.
This marks the fund’s tenth investment in the Ugandan agribusiness sector and the third after AMRI Farms and Pura Organic Agro Tech Ltd.
