DCP and Dutch firm to Invest in Ukraine’s agrisector: 20% of funds allocated to green projects

Ukrainian investment company Diligent Capital Partners (DCP) has partnered with Dutch consulting firm 2ndAries to launch the Food4Impact (F4i) initiative — a €150 million fund aimed at restoring financing for Ukraine’s agribusiness sector, DCP’s press service reported.

The project has a €75 million guarantee from the Ukraine Investment Framework (UIF). It was created to channel funding directly into production, job creation, and the restoration of export capacities. The initiative will provide rapid financing to companies essential for producing and exporting Ukrainian food products, particularly to Middle Eastern and Asian markets.

“Our top priority is the rapid deployment of capital. Farmers and agribusinesses cannot wait another year — they need liquidity now to sow, process, and export. Food4Impact provides that bridge,” said Dan Pasko, Co-Managing Partner at Diligent Capital Partners.

Financing will go directly to Ukrainian companies in the form of private debt or flexible growth capital, helping them sustain and expand their operations.

F4i complements Diligent Capital Partners’ long-term investment strategy and serves as a rapid-response mechanism that provides flexible financing to support businesses during wartime.

“We are proud of the trust shown by the European Commission, which supported the initiative through the UIF,” said Jorrit Dingemans, Co-Founder of 2ndAries.

At least 20% of the financing will be directed toward green projects promoting sustainable farming, processing, and logistics in line with EU standards.
