HUSK was founded in 2017 in Cambodia by Heloise Buckland and Carol Rius and produces biochar (a carbon-like byproduct of organic waste materials), carbon-based fertilizers and crop protection products, offering innovative solutions to local farmers. The company has received a USD 5 million capital injection from Mekong Capital, a leading Private Equity fund in Vietnam, which will help fuel its product development and its regional expansion.
DFDL advised Mekong Capital on the transaction, including legal due diligence and advice on regulatory approvals. The DFDL team included partners, Chris Robinson and Vansok Khem, Soromnear Sin and Davin Hor.
