On 3 August 2017, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation approved funding to support an export operation carried out by Phatisa Food Fund 2 L.l.c. The total amount granted was USD 75 million. The exact country where the operation was carried out was not disclosed. The support was granted through the Foreign Investment Financing programme.

The Foreign Investment Financing program provides financing for projects in developing countries to increase US exports, to advance American foreign policy goals, and to promote the US commercial competitiveness around the world. Under the program, projects must have significant participation by a sponsor from the United States. The program is run by the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). In 2020, OPIC transformed into the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC).
