ARABLE CAPITAL PARTNERS CLOSES $300 MILLION FOOD & AGRICULTURE INVESTMENT FUND
Arable Capital Partners (“Arable”), is pleased to announce the first and final closing of its debut fund, with $300 million of total capital commitments.
Arable was created by industry veterans to fill the gap in food and agriculture investing, combining a long-term investment horizon with deep industry experience. The nature of agriculture requires a long-term view, and Arable is targeting 15+ year investments. Arable is focused on investing in operating businesses throughout the entire agriculture sector, from seed to shelf, and often partnering with family operators and management teams.
The Arable team has experience in real assets both as investors as well as hands-on operators. Leveraging the team’s operating track record of managing and growing successful agribusinesses, complemented with strong investing and deal structuring experience is what makes Arable unique. Arable has partnered with investors that share the long-term vision, while also having significant capital to deploy. This allows Arable to make sizable investments, while still maintaining a family business culture.
“Arable is a natural progression following the track records created in both agribusiness and investing that this team has built over the past decade. We are excited to execute on our food and agriculture-focused investment strategy by partnering with companies and management teams in the industry with a shared long-term vision.” said Greg Richards, Managing Director of Arable.
“The formation of Arable is primarily driven by the attractive investment opportunities we are seeing throughout the market, and a belief that Arable is uniquely suited for the food and agribusiness sector with our team of experienced agricultural operators and investors.” said Derek Yurosek, Managing Director of Arable.
