Singapore

TEMASEK International is setting up a new vehicle to help accelerate and manage agricultural and food investments as part of a multibillion-dollar push into the market.

Anuj Maheshwari, managing director of Agribusiness, said the platform will have two main missions: to help agrifood portfolio companies build the operational capabilities needed to get products off the drawing board and into the market; and to help them build the manufacturing and production scale "to the next level".
