The F2.0 solution

Project documents

Smallholder Financing Support Programme

In sub-Saharan Africa, agriculture employs 60% of the working population and accounts for 23% of the continent’s GDP, but only 3% of loans are allocated to this sector. F2.0 aims to change the financing logic to improve the situation. 

With F2.0 farmers can become clients of MFIs and take out loans to buy their inputs. The farmers’ organisations (FOs) which previously financed these inputs can instead take out loans to buy a portion of farmers’ harvests, accumulate stock and sell it during the period in which food prices peak.
