🇺🇬 This has been a really challenging season for coffee across East Africa. So, as a lender who gets repaid in coffee, what do we do? Together with #Sucafina (Ugacof in Uganda), we found a solution. See what it was – and see what Masaka farmers had to say about it ⬇️

Sucafina's agents were also happy. Dry spells mean more work in the garden, not less. And that requires investment.

Fingers crossed that we are out of the woods this time. But whether the season is good, bad or ugly, as Emata our work is to figure out a way to sustainably and commercially support farmers! Learn more: emata.io/

There are two avenues for growth: 1) Small scale/subsistence farmers grow to commercial scale and take advantage of economies of scale. 2) Value addition We are heavily invested in making the first one a reality, giving the best Ugandan farmers the opportunity to grow big.

True on cash flow,hunger can't wait 60 days, which is why farmers sell raw cherry cheap. What @Emata_UG is doing with patient capital is vital. But credit only buys time. If that patchment just ends up as raw green exports, the farmer is still trapped on global price swings.

It's been valuable working together to understand what drives the adoption of digital financial services among farmers. These experiences continue to shape how we think about making digital finance work for underserved communities. Thank you for sharing!
