Nile Fresh Produce

Partnership

Financing farmers so they can grow more, and get paid faster.

With Equity Bank Uganda

Seed loans, repaid in grain

Nile Fresh Produce and Equity Bank Uganda have a memorandum of understanding that finances registered farmers with seed loans. Farmers repay at harvest with an equivalent amount of grain.

We also have a three-way agreement with Equity Bank and Ace Global, a collateral manager, so that farmers are paid straight into their bank accounts once their produce is delivered. This makes sure money is always available to buy from farmers.
