InfraZamin is pleased to announce a partnership with Sundridge Foods Limited to launch a PKR 2 billion Agri-Infrastructure Sukuk. This Shariah-compliant financing instrument will be issued by Sunridge Foods Limited, a subsidiary of Unity Foods Limited.
InfraZamin Pakistan, with a long-term credit rating of AAA, provides an additional layer of security for investors participating in the Sukuk. The Sukuk will be fully principle protected with InfraZamin’s Guarantee.
The proceeds raised through the Sukuk will fund Sunridge Foods’ Balancing, Modernization, and Replacement (BMR) initiatives, which aim to modernize production facilities with sustainable, high-efficiency technologies. Notably, the BMR also includes the installation of 1 MW wind turbines and a 0.5 MW solar plant to support Sunridge’s renewable energy initiative and the construction of new silos and warehouses to significantly increase agri-produce storage capacity.
The funds will also support working capital for key wheat and rice processing facilities in Karachi and Lahore, enabling increased production of staple food items.
Maheen Rahman, CEO of InfraZamin Pakistan, expressed: “This transaction reflects InfraZamin’s commitment to supporting the development of Pakistan’s agriculture sector. By providing a 100% principal credit guarantee, we are facilitating access to capital markets and fostering sustainability through green energy initiatives and food security.”
Farrukh Amin, CEO of Unity Foods, commented on the partnership, saying, “Our collaboration with InfraZamin and the launch of Sunridge’s first agriculture infrastructure Sukuk is a transformative step for Unity Foods. This investment paves the way for us to enhance our facilities with cutting-edge, renewable energy solutions, enabling us to meet the rising demand for our products. It’s a bold stride toward operational efficiency and reflects our unwavering commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050.”
The issuance of this Agri-Infrastructure Sukuk, will strengthen Pakistan’s agricultural landscape and drive long-term benefits for the environment and food security. The issuance of the Sukuk is subject to SECP approval and Sunridge Foods’ completion of all transaction-related conditions.
