Philippine sovereign wealth fund Maharlika Investment Corporation expects to close at least one agriculture-related deal within the first half of the year.
The deal will focus on strategic mergers and acquisitions in the agricultural sector, according to Rafael Jose Consing Jr, president and chief executive officer of Maharlika.
“Our goal is to back companies ready to scale, providing the resources to improve efficiency and increase export volume, which in turn secures and generates vital employment,” he says in a statement on January 30.
The wealth fund also plans to allocate capital across the energy, logistics and mining sectors this year.
“This ‘sectoral and tactical’ approach prioritises assets that resolve structural chokepoints and unlock export capacity, ensuring the fund drives both financial returns and economic efficiency,” Consing says.
