Financing Missing Middle Agri-Businesses

Financing Missing Middle Agri-Businesses in Kenya and Uganda (June 2022) was a feasibility study conducted to evaluate the possibility of SME Impact Fund (SIF) expanding its business model to the adjacent markets of Kenya and/or Uganda. The competitive position of SIF was mapped versus other agri-finance providers, and a survey was conducted amongst agri-businesses in both markets to assess their financing needs and bankability status.

The research provides market data beyond the ‘funding gap’ to further understand the effective demand in these regions, and detail on supply-side product offerings for agri-SMEs.
