The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has agreed financing worth $90 million for the Turkish and European subsidiaries of Luxembourg-based agricultural commodity processor and trader Sodrugestvo Group.

The group manufactures proteins and oils and distributes agricultural commodities globally. 

In Turkey, an $80 million EBRD loan will support foreign direct investment by financing the acquisition by Sodrugestvo of a multi-seed crushing plant in Izmir from Altinyag, a soybean processing company. Of the bank’s loan, $25 million is expected to be syndicated to foreign lenders.

In addition, $10 million will be used by Sodrugestvo to increase the number of its agricultural suppliers in eastern Europe.
