About Unigrains

Investment thesis
Unigrains targets French and selectively European agri-food and agro-industry companies, deploying growth equity and selective buyout positions across the food value chain. Sector focus spans food production, food processing, agricultural inputs, packaging and food-tech innovation. The exclusive sector mandate enables deep operational and regulatory expertise across food safety, traceability, sustainability and value chain consolidation themes that generalist mid-cap firms cannot match.

The platform tracks a single dedicated fund vehicle, 27 active portfolio companies and 8 realised exits across the multi-decade agri-food specialist programme.
