Nigeria’s leading commodities market player and the country’s first private sector commodities exchange, AFEX (Africa Exchange) has announced the reopening of its $240 million (\u20a6100 billion) Asset-Backed Commercial Paper (ABCP).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is to help stabilize Nigeria’s agriculture sector by offering agro-processors low-cost financing to bridge the funding gap between lenders and borrowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new funding, AFEX’s second in a three-year Commercial Paper program that started in Q4 2021, where $65 million (\u20a627 billion) was raised, seeks to raise an additional $175 million (\u20a673 billion) for processors unable to borrow in the commercial paper markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFEX is improving the efficiency of commodity trading and enabling the broader capital market to tap into the African commodities sector. The ABCP is a short-term debt instrument typically providing investors with a competitive 15% return on their investment, and maturity is up to 270 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How AFEX tackles Africa\u2019s food security issues<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture remains one of the most important economic sectors for the continent, employing the majority of the population and accounting for 14% of GDP in sub-Saharan Africa<\/a>. Yet, many African economies struggle with food security issues due to the gap between supply and demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While banks or other financial institutions typically issue the security itself, the ABCP Notes are sponsored by AFEX Commodities Exchange and the proceeds of the issuance will be used by AFEX Investment Limited to provide pre-qualified agro-processors with working capital support to enable them to purchase commodities required for their production processes at an agreed price.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFEX’s security is backed by the commodities serving as the credit enhancement in the transaction. AFEX lists the ABCP on ComX<\/a>, its commodities trading platform, then engages capital market operators for subscriptions for a set time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funds raised are used to provide pre-qualified agro-processors with working capital to purchase commodities required for their production processes at an agreed price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridging the gap between agro-processors and investors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Ayodeji Balogun, CEO at AFEX, the company has a strong track record in offering distinctively differentiated and innovative financial instruments to the marketplace, \u201cand this new Asset-Backed Commercial Paper will help bridge the gap between Agro-processors and investors.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nigeria\u2019s
AFEX CEO, Ayodeji Balogun<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For one thing, access to low-risk funding and capital is critical to empowering Africa to feed itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe in making capital that is a right fit, in terms of timeliness and structure, available for all players in the value chain. Based on our past performance, we are confident that we will attract even more financing from private investors and, subject to value for money, they will help us secure this $175m (\u20a673bn) investment in Africa’s food security.”<\/em>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its launch in 2014<\/a>, AFEX has committed to leveling-up Africa’s agro-tech sector; by helping the continent feed itself<\/a> by boosting food security and making food production more efficient.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to 2021, in a first-of-its-kind for Africa, AFEX raised $48 million (\u20a619 billion) from their 20% oversubscribed Warehouse Receipt Backed Commercial Paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
