British International Investment pours $20m into Valency International

It will fund the Singapore-based firm's expansion in Nigeria.

British International Investment (BII) has invested US$15m ($20m) into Singapore-based agricultural commodities trading house Valency International (Valency).

The investment will fund Valency’s expansion of cashew processing and warehousing facilities in Nigeria.

Valency expects to complete the expansion by early 2024.

The investment will also create up to 2,800 jobs among low-income communities in Nigeria.

In addition, BII also has the option to further invest $35m in equity into Valency within two years of completion of its initial investment.

The investment follows the elevation of bilateral relationships between Singapore and the UK.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
