Feeding the World

NCH Capital was among the earliest Western investors in Eastern Europe in the 1990s, making its first investments in the agricultural sector over 20 years ago. Today, in addition to managing other real assets and private equity portfolios, we are one of the world's largest agribusiness investor-operators. Our businesses are committed to sustaining and improving the cycle of growth, harvest and distribution to help support food security globally.

Since NCH's inception in 1993, we have raised approximately $6 billion of capital from investors. As a natural extension of our successful real estate and private equity investment programs across Eastern Europe, since 2006 we have been transforming subsistence-level and fallow farmland in the Black Sea region and other areas of Eastern Europe into highly productive agribusinesses, revitalizing local communities and providing food for millions around the globe. We deploy the latest innovations in agronomy to ensure crop production sustainability and proper land management, with our supply chain solutions delivering products efficiently to the global market. NCH recognizes that the success of our business is ultimately driven by the people of and communities in which we operate. We strive to always hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and operational excellence.
