AMEA welcomes Precise, an Addis Ababa-based consulting firm, as a new member, strengthening our network’s work to professionalise agri-SMEs and farmer organisations in Ethiopia.

L’agriculture représente près de 70 % de l’économie béninoise, mais les organisations de producteurs et agro-MPME font face à des obstacles persistants. La dernière étude de cas d’AMEA montre comment le modèle BDS dégressif d’ACMA 3 a aidé 32 organisations à accroître leurs revenus, mobiliser des capitaux et toucher 8 060 producteurs en une seule année.

Closing the smallholder regenerative agriculture finance gap requires more than new capital. It requires practical, investable pathways aligned with local realities and needs. This discussion will examine how agri-SMEs and cooperatives can serve as the critical bridge between smallholder communities and climate funders, and how standards-aligned business development services can support agri-SMEs in their work to deliver environmental outcomes at scale.

Capital alone rarely transforms an agri-SME. Uganda’s Yield Fund tested what happens when patient investment is fused with structured Business Development Services, mobilising UGX 52bn in additional finance and reaching approximately 25,000 outgrower farmers. Here’s what eight years of evidence taught us.
