Veris is an independent investment company that makes equity and mezzanine
investments in companies and projects with activities in the food value chain in Sub-Saharan Africa.

By providing risk capital to local businesses and closely working together with its management teams, Veris pursues growth and operational excellence for the companies they partner with.
