Who we are?

Sino-Worldwide Agriculture Investments LLC (“SIWA Investments or “SIWA” for short” ) is a newly established Dubai-based holding company, focused on four principal areas of business:

  • Food and Beverage Trade and Investment

  • African Food Manufacturing and Logistics

  • Global EPC

  • Dedicated Infrastructure Funds

Food and Beverage Trade and Investment

In-house the company focuses on the sourcing of agricultural, food and drink products for distribution in the Chinese market. This can range from long-term off-take solutions for the import of agricultural commodities from Africa for supply and onward processing in China, to the sourcing of distribution agreements for the import of high value-added food and drink consumer brands from Europe for wholesale distribution in mainland China.

 

In certain instances, SIWA will co-invest with strategic partners in greenfield manufacturing capabilities overseas to facilitate the expansion of our import partners’ export capacity into our distribution channels into China under exclusivity arrangements and will consider localising warehousing and manufacturing capacity in China under exclusive license arrangements.

Global EPC

SIWA has years of experience and close connections to leading Chinese SOE’s in the construction, infrastructure, and Agricultural sectors. SIWA plays a partnership role in originating, structuring, and negotiating Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects globally with a particular focus on the Middle East and Africa across the spectrum from Hotel and Resort development to large scale infrastructure projects in transportation (rail and air), solar, large-scale agricultural irrigation projects, energy, mining and industrial scale-food manufacturing facilities.

Dedicated Infrastructure Funds

A key focus of the group is the formation of specific infrastructure funds to support the financing of these projects on a public-private-partnership model (PPP) enabling finance and build schemes under the EPC model above. SIWA is developing a suite Hong-Kong based infrastructure funds to channel the equity component of the financing schemes, utilising Hong Kong’s latest innovation in the launch of Limited Partnership Funds. Combined with SIWA’s access to Chinese development bank and commercial lending institutions, SIWA aims to provide a one-stop “build and finance” solution to next generation Chinese EPC solutions.

African Food Manufacturing and Logistics

The company has interests in a range of sectors in Africa from construction materials to logistics and will take an active role in investing further specifically in farming, agricultural processing, agricultural storage, and logistics with a view to providing local beneficiation opportunities for local partners and guarantee export markets under off-take. The company also plays a pivotal role in the supply of key agricultural inputs and agricultural expertise from China to enhance yield and employment opportunities in Africa with strategic partners.
