Moringa | in a nutshell Moringa is a sustainable agro-forestry fund with a target size of

€100m Geography: Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa

Mission

Benefits

Key strengths

Profitability of 10-12% net for investors based on strong fundamentals and long term market trends

High positive environmental impact projects Strong social benefits for surrounding populations, including through

out-grower programs

Core team boosted by two complementary partners: La Compagnie Benjamin de Rothschild and ONF International

A strong field presence and network A well defined pipeline of over 40 replicable projects A TA facility to re-inforce the impact of the fund A first closing (51.4 M€ achieved in august 2013)

Moringa | invest in agroforestry Sustainable production of agri and timber products is a key to

successfully combating deforestation and climate change

Agriculture is by far the main driver of deforestation

Deforestation has direct environmental impacts: climate change (17% of GHG emissions), droughts and flooding, soil erosion, biodiversity destruction

Monospecific plantations do not offer a sustainable alternative : biodiversity loss, eviction of local

communities, competition with agricultureConservation programs do not necessarily enable economic and social development for communities

Agroforestry is the spatial or temporal combination of trees and crops or animals, with biological, social and economic synergies leading to higher productivity, reduced risks, a more stable income for local populations, and positive environmental impacts

<+Examples of biological interactions : Better use of sun light Better use of water Biological regulation of pests

Moringa | working with outgrowers brings value

A small nucleus plantation

SH interested in increasing their revenues

A plant to process their products (sawmill, press…) and through adequate logistic a better access to provide:

No cumbersome land acquisition No land conflict No big capital investment Optimum cash flow profile But understanding the outgrowers or

their cooperative is essential

Agroforestry provides a sustainable and profitable alternative to the unsustainable land use scenarios that drive deforestation

Compared to these scenarios, well designed and well managed agroforestry projects provide:

better risk mitigation in the short and long run

higher profitability in the long run

Moringa | embedding sustainability to bring value to the investors

Selecting markets with a strong growth potential

Creating long term

environmental value

Creating a “supportive

environment”

Generating more value for the investor through a sustainable approach,

bringing benefits to communities

Projects are embedded into

markets with high growth potential

and meet industries future needs

Adequate selection of trees and crops

brings back fertility to damaged lands

Outgrowers are given better genetic

selection, better logistics, financing,

better access to market

Exit is easier, the purchasing entity

can further expand its business

Project located on the banks of the Magdalena river, 120 km from the harbor of Barranquilla (Caribbean sea)

Deforestation and unsustainable land use has taken its toll… large scale soil erosion, filling the river with sediments and causing floods

Land for pastures have shrunk and over grazing on the remaining part has diminished food access for the cattle

Project Magda | a project that meets these requirements

Commercial reforestation in a sylvopastoralism environment, in close partnership with local ranchers via “contrato de participacion”

The project was initiated in 2000 by the public organization in charge of Magdalena river’s management, supported by ONFI

The project of reforestation consists of a commercial plantation of Teak and Melina, 2 well-known commercial timber species, and Ceiba, a local species, for commercialization in national and international markets

Farmers also receive technical support to improve the management of cattle, pastures and soils

Project Magda | a project that meets these requirements

Problem: Cattle ranchers had land but were in

poverty trap Results:

Ranchers have learned a lot (planting trees, improving ranching techniques) and increased their revenues.

New standing planted forests which reduce soil erosion and improve water levels

Dramatic improvement in land prices due to improved fertility

Moringa investment would allow upscaling of project, leveraging positive pilot projects results

Project Magda | with strong environmental & social impacts
