Our vision

Our vision is a thriving commercial agriculture sector that benefits both people and planet.
In recent years, there has been an increase in prople investing and investigating agricultural investment companies and the oppotunities that these can offer in a market that is continuously changing. First of all, we must do some research into what this represents for us and our opportunities, finances and future. Therefore, what are the aspects that we must take into consideration ? The list is quite simple, but it deserves attention : ⁃ first of all, are we mentally prepared to handle agricultural investments and all of their consequences ? ⁃ can we handle the various challenges that come along with us investing in a farm ? ⁃ do we know exactly how much we can invest and how much is it actually worth investing in a partnership of this kind ? ⁃ do we understand what our part and role will be in such an operation ?

Usually speaking, when one chooses to invest in agriculture or in a farm, there is the discussion on how one will be involved in the operation. Generally speaking, there will be minimal involvement on our behalf, as we can have delegates that can handle our business. Becoming such a enormous opportunity for investors, and becoming increasingly interesting for investors, agriculture represents a huge opportunity that should not be missed. There is therefore a need for understanding of this very specific field, in which case a specialized company can be and should be employed. Such a company provides consulting services that will help us better understand what we are actually getting ourselves into. These services can be varied and they can range from:
⁃ seeking the best investment opportunities for us and our goals both financially and professionally ⁃ finding specific farms in which to invest in ⁃ monitoring national legislations and any changes that may ocurr in the national laws ⁃ new projects that may emerge and may deserve our attention ⁃ studies regarding feasability of our investment

So, what should we choose when talking about agricultural investment? We must first of all think that the world population is always increasing and certain foods are very requested globally , such as maize or certain types of meat. Maize has been a very profitable business in countries, and the value of maize farms has been proven to increase over time. However, this being said, we should also take into account the legal issues and modiffications of legislation that authorities have imposed lately. There is also the possibility of investing in animal farms, but this raises new challenges, as there is a lot more care involved in such farms and we need a lot more personnel. All these being taken into consideration, the issue is much more complex and we need to do out research propperly.

Our Vision

At Golden Stack we are driven by our commitment to fight food insecurity, create climate resilience, and transform communities and economies through sustainable and innovative agriculture investments. To achieve this mission, we deploy long-term capital in future-proof commercial agricultural initiatives that bring positive and tangible impact for our investors, portfolio companies, employees, communities, and the environment. Our investing approach allows us to let businesses achieve their full potential and be a leading agent of change in their respective markets.

Ambition

Agriculture is a key driver of socio-economic growth and development and the lifeblood of every rural area we invest in. Golden Stack is building and supporting agribusiness champions, creating long-lasting infrastructure, and environmentally sustainable projects.

Communities

At GOLDEN STACK, we are fundamentally committed to the concept of every farming project being ‘a good neighbour’: respect and support for the communities who surround our farms is a vital component of our approach to project development.
In some circumstances, these communities are our landlords, in most circumstances, they are home to our farm workforce, and in every circumstance we view our relationship with them as indispensable to our success.
This relationship management begins during the screening and due diligence process for new projects; we are mindful of the sensitivities around land tenure and occupation which may arise and handle any land acquisition accordingly.
GOLDEN STACK will never invest in a project which necessitates the involuntary relocation of communities.
As a project develops, GOLDEN STACK’s policies and procedures require that regular community engagement is undertaken and recorded and that any grievances are heard and fairly dealt with.
The risks to communities of all aspects of development are considered and mitigated. Beyond this, and where appropriate, we seek to support and empower these groups through measures that go beyond employment.
We use socio-economic information and dialogues with the communities themselves to establish programmes specific to each area, which may include water & sanitary initiatives, smallholder programmes, entrepreneurship upskilling, or simple support for healthcare or educational institutions.
The Zulu term ‘ubuntu’ means ‘I am because we are’, and it is in this spirit that we approach our community relationships.
