Joint Ventures

The document identifies the public-private incorporated joint venture (JV) as a growing model for attracting private investment in agribusiness, particularly in developing countries. It notes that while JVs allow public and private partners to contribute equity, share profits, and jointly manage a company, they introduce unique risks that require careful legal drafting to mitigate.

• Public-private incorporated joint ventures (JVs) are becoming more common as governments seek diverse models to attract private investment in agriculture, coinciding with an increased focus on public-private partnerships (PPPs) for agribusiness.
• Joint ventures are characterized by a structure where public and private partners contribute equity, share profits, and manage the company jointly, which creates specific benefits and risks, especially for governments in developing countries within the agricultural sector.
