We are very excited to introduce AgriFinancing, a new platform to help educate finance professionals in East Africa about agriculture financing.

In a region where farming is vital for the economy, AgriFinancing works with bankers and investors in managing the growing financial requirements of agriculture. Our platform not only caters to the financial needs of farmers and processors but also aims to foster sustainable growth and contribute to professionalizing the sector.

The timing of AgriFinancing’s launch couldn’t be more opportune. In a world that’s rapidly changing, the need for accessible and effective agricultural financing is becoming more obvious by the day.  Climate change has arrived and can no longer be ignored.

Our children will witness a paradigm shift in the role that Africa plays globally.  Out of 10 people in 2050, approximately 2.5 to 3 people will be African. The continent will step-up to feed itself efficiently – and above all sustainably – including catering for the needs of the 14+ mega-cities that will emerge over the next decade.

To shape the future of the agricultural sector, experts estimate that the demand for Agri-credit surpasses $60 billion annually in Sub-Saharan Africa.  The sector needs highly skilled professionals who have the knowledge, tools and confidence to finance entities across a multitude of Agricultural Value Chains.  Our mission is to train the next generation of lending officers through a blended approach of e-learning, group training and individual mentoring.  What we teach … we have done ourselves.
