Kenya - Agriculture - Training, Processing and Export

This SME contracts agriculture production form 10,000 smallhold farmers in Western Kenya. The SME then sells and trades the agriculture products in large orders to buyers in Kenya, South Africa, Asia and Europe. The SME provides training to the 10,000 farmers and linkages to export-oriented seed varietals that might not be locally available.

The SME seeks $1.5m in investment to expand purchasing agreements to approximately 100,000 farmers and increase internal agriculture processing. The financing would purchase additional land and new equipment, hire new staff, and provide for technical assistance and management consulting. Financing is sought with a term of five years and an expected IRR of 30%.
