CASA 4×4: Grahame Dixie answers questions drawing on his recent experience at Grow Asia

On 30 June 2021, we launched our new approach to sharing information. Grahame Dixie from Grow Asia drove our first 4×4.

CASA Webinar 5: Making Inclusivity Work: A role for legal empowerment. What impressed us was the way that he was able to combine an overview with very detailed explanations of what is what is happening on the ground. See speakers section for more details about Grahame.

What is 4×4?

We crowdsourced questions from the CASA/investor community. Grahame had just four-minutes to provide his viewpoint based on your questions. The questions were:

• What is the case for investment in agriculture in developing markets – and is there a difference between international and local investors in this respect?
• Why should investors care about smallholder farmers when business models that rely on them are less effective, more complex and ultimately less profitable?
• What would you say to private sector investors who are keen to learn aspects of good investment in agriculture?
• What are the rookie mistakes being made by new investors in smallholder-led agriculture?
