Item 1. Security and Issuer.

The title and class of equity security to which this statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates is the Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of African Agriculture Holdings Inc. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”).  The principal executive office of the Issuer is located at 445 Park Avenue, Ninth Floor, New York, NY 10022.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a)          This Statement is being jointly filed by each of the following persons pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”):  (i) Global Commodities & Investments Ltd., a Cayman exempt company (“Global”); and (ii) Vasile Frank Timis, a natural person (“Mr. Timis”). Each of Global and Mr. Timis are sometimes referred to herein as a “Reporting Person” and, collectively, as the “Reporting Persons.”  Information with respect to each of the Reporting Persons is given solely by such Reporting Person, and no Reporting Person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information by another Reporting Person.

(b)          The address of each Reporting Person is 90 North Church Street, 2^nd Floor, George Town, Grand Cayman.

(c)          The principal business of the Reporting Persons is to invest in businesses.  Mr. Timis’s principal occupation is businessman.

(d)          During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). On June 13, 2019, an investigation was launched by the Dean of the Investigating Judges of the General High Court of Dakar in Senegal over the sale of gas contracts to British energy multinational BP. The contracts had been acquired by Timiscorp, a company of which Mr. Timis is the controlling shareholder. The 19-month investigation involved two other publicly traded companies in the United States, BP and Kosmos. The BBC reported BP bought the Timiscorp stake in certain Senegalese gas fields for a cash consideration in 2017, in addition to a royalty payout. The examining magistrate heard evidence regarding allegations from numerous sources per court transcripts over 18 months and found all allegations unproven. On December 29, 2020, the High Court’s conclusion was that there were no grounds to pursue any persons for any offenses related to the allegations contained in the BBC report. The judge dismissed the case in its entirety, citing lack of evidence, on all counts.

(e)          During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f)          Mr. Timis is a citizen of Australia and Romania.

Cash-Settled Equity Derivative Transaction

On November 29, 2023, 10X II and AFRAG entered into an agreement (the “CSED”) with Vellar Opportunities Fund Master, Ltd. (“Vellar”) for a Cash-Settled Equity Derivative Transaction.
