Agromap NBS

What Agromap NBS does

Agromap NBS (legal entity AGRO-MAP SAS) is an Abidjan-headquartered nature-based solutions company founded in 2018 by Patrice Adaye, operating across five African countries — Côte d'Ivoire, Congo, Cameroon, Ghana, and Guinea — with a team of more than 40 staff. Its core activities span agroforestry, reforestation, mangrove restoration, and the production of carbon and biodiversity credits, executed through large-scale projects such as the 70,000-hectare KARIDJA agroforestry program (with aDryada and Côte d'Ivoire's MINEF) and the 2,600-hectare Blue Carbon mangrove project (with Blue Forest, planned to scale to 10,000 hectares). Since inception the company has planted approximately 2.3 million trees in Côte d'Ivoire. The technology backbone is a proprietary FPM software platform that integrates GIS, drone-based photogrammetry, and remote sensing to monitor tree survival, biomass accumulation, and smallholder plot compliance for MRV purposes.

The business model combines project-based revenue streams: long-term restoration contracts with enterprise agribusiness buyers (Cargill, Mondelēz Cocoa Life, Barry-Callebaut, TOUTON SA), the sale of carbon and biodiversity credits generated by verified restoration outcomes, consulting and EUDR-compliance advisory, and seedling production. Smallholder farmer cooperatives serve as the on-the-ground execution layer, while partnerships with aDryada, Blue Forest, Reforest'Action, and TerraFund/AFR100 provide technical capacity, capital, and market access. Agromap has expanded its strategic framing into four axes — NBS, Consulting, Renewable Energy, and Technology — to monetize adjacent decarbonization opportunities from the same operational footprint.

The company is privately held and founder-controlled. Strategic positioning is anchored in direct multi-country presence, deep smallholder relationships that are difficult to replicate, and selection among the TerraFund/AFR100 Top 100 restoration enterprises, which signals donor and buyer credibility. Key forward risks include heavy dependence on a small set of cocoa-industry buyers, the absence of disclosed external funding, and exposure to volatile voluntary carbon market pricing.

Direct peers

• Pachama: Tech-forward nature-based carbon project developer that uses remote sensing and AI to verify forest carbon projects and connects corporate buyers to verified credits. Comparable to Agromap in carbon project development with technology-led monitoring, though Pachama's tech focus is heavier.
• South Pole Group: Global carbon project developer and climate consultancy that develops and sells verified carbon credits from nature-based and tech-based projects for enterprise buyers. Comparable to Agromap in developing forest/agroforestry carbon projects and providing ESG advisory to large corporates.
• Terra Global Capital: Carbon project developer focused on forestry, agriculture, and land-use carbon credits in developing countries, supplying verified credits to voluntary market buyers. Directly comparable to Agromap in nature-based carbon project origination and corporate credit sales.
• WeForest: International nonprofit developing agroforestry and reforestation projects across Africa, Asia, and Latin America with corporate partners. Highly comparable to Agromap in African forestry/agroforestry project execution, smallholder engagement, and corporate sponsorship model.
• Livelihoods Fund (LVMH): Impact fund backed by LVMH and corporate partners that finances large-scale agroforestry, reforestation, and mangrove restoration projects with smallholder farmers in Africa and Asia. Comparable to Agromap in carbon/agroforestry project design, smallholder engagement, and corporate buyer-backed structure.

Emerging players

• Patch: Carbon credit API and marketplace that helps companies integrate high-quality carbon offsets (including nature-based) into their products and operations. Adjacent to Agromap's project origination — relevant as a channel/comparable in the voluntary carbon ecosystem.

Others

• re:wild: Global conservation organization focused on biodiversity protection and ecosystem restoration with corporate and philanthropic partners. Comparable to Agromap's biodiversity credit and ecosystem restoration work as a thematic peer in the nature-based solutions space.
• One Tree Planted: Nonprofit that partners with reforestation organizations globally to plant trees funded by corporate and individual donors. Comparable to Agromap in African tree-planting project execution and corporate partnership model, but donor-funded rather than carbon-credit-revenue driven.

Broad incumbents

• Verra: Operator of the VCS carbon standard and other certification programs that govern the issuance of verified nature-based carbon credits. Comparable as the dominant infrastructure layer for the carbon credit products Agromap develops, and a key determinant of credit marketability.
• Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF / World Bank): World Bank-hosted multilateral program supporting REDD+ readiness and carbon payments to forest countries. Comparable as a large-scale forest carbon program operating in West/Central Africa, though it operates at sovereign scale rather than as a private project developer.
