Investment firm MAVRK Capital completes first closure on new fund specifically designed to support international farmers and growers.
MAVRK Capital Launches Second Fund to Revolutionize International Perishable Produce Market
MAVRK Capital, a leading player in the agricultural financing sector, has announced the first close of its second fund, aimed at international produce growers. The fund focuses on providing credit financing for perishable agricultural products, particularly produce-related receivables, bridging a critical gap in the global agriculture market [1][2].
The strategy of the MAVRK Equity Conduit Fund centers on lending against receivables in the perishable produce sector, such as fruits and vegetables, with a focus on horticultural exports. By financing these short-duration, perishable asset-backed receivables, MAVRK Capital addresses the unique risk and liquidity challenges in the international fresh produce supply chain [1][3].
The impact of this fund on the global private credit market for perishable agricultural products includes improved access to capital, enhanced liquidity, and increased private credit options beyond traditional banks. This approach supports sustainability and growth in global fresh produce trade by providing targeted financial products that align with the sector's operational dynamics [1][2][3].
Nick Ambrosini, President and CEO of Valley Strong Credit Union, believes the fresh produce market is rapidly meeting the private credit investing landscape. Paul Limanni, Managing Director and Co-Head of Capital Markets at Performance Trust Capital Partners, shares this sentiment, expressing confidence in the deep expertise of the MAVRK team in the entire produce vertical [4].
The new capital will enable MAVRK to unlock the global private credit market for perishable agricultural products, providing crucial liquidity to growers, distributors, and retailers across the United States, Latin America, and South America [5]. Jack Campbell, CEO of MAVRK Capital, is committed to driving innovation and growth in vital industries, making this fund an opportunity for institutional investors to help build a future asset class [6].
The MAVRK Equity Conduit Fund aims to scale for decades to come, with Valley Strong Ventures serving as the anchor investor. The investment was also supported by several family offices, reflecting the growing interest in this innovative niche in private credit [7]. Valley Strong Credit Union, a respected institution, is partnering with MAVRK Capital in their endeavors, demonstrating their dedication to delivering meaningful impact for their Members, partners, and the broader community [8].
In a statement, Jack Campbell said, "We are excited to announce this first Close of our second fund for our global lending. This investment will lead to the transformation of agriculture via institutional liquidity for growers, allowing them to focus on building sustainable and predictive growing operations. We look forward to partnering with other institutional investors to build the future of agriculture." [9]
The MAVRK Equity Conduit Fund exemplifies an innovative approach to private credit, combining agricultural expertise with financial structuring to unlock capital flows critical to the international produce industry. As the fund scales, it promises to bring stability and growth to the market for perishable crops, revolutionizing the global produce supply chain.
