A complex region with promising growth perspectives

Middle East & Africa is a strategic Region for LDCommodities with huge potential, especially in Africa. The establishment of a Region in our organization is the demonstration of this strategic importance.
This is vital as the need for food is growing much faster than domestic production due to population increases, changes in eating habits and limited productivity gains.
These changes open a large array of opportunities for an international player that understands local economics and is willing to invest now in the infrastructure that will allow growth to materialize.
Early 2011, LDCommodities acquired SCPA-SIVEX International, the leading fertilizer, crop protection and chemical products distributor in West and Central Africa. The combined entity makes the Group one of the key agri-business players in Africa with unique growth potential for the future.
