According to Anglo African, it is in ongoing talks "with numerous groups", both at the asset and public equity level, in order to decide on which structure and investment partner or partners would be "most beneficial".
"The board will keep shareholders appraised of developments in the weeks ahead," said Anglo African Agriculture.
