The Group has 22 employees and is based in Arusha and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania... We are dedicated to providing loans, skills and knowledge to SMEs in agricultural value chains, thus unlocking the agricultural potential of East Africa and leveraging access to SMEs and smallholder farmers. We target the emerging SMEs, which are often referred to as the ‘missing middle' in finance. SMEs seeking to grow face a finance gap, as they are too large for microfinance and too small for commercial banking or private equity funds.
