Our Objective
Create organizations with the necessary critical mass to make it in the national and international markets
Our Action Plan
We focus on agri-food processing, distribution, and exports. We look at food biotechnology–derived products that can be promising raw materials for the probiotics, functional foods & nutraceuticals, and prepared foods industries. In addition to specific large scale projects, SGF promotes the kind of development and consolidation that gives companies a competitive edge in local and international markets.
