  9. 1. Crafting new chains Market and produce available, yet no chain. Finance linked to capacity building to develop the chain

  10. 2. Expanding chain liquidity Financial agents link with chain actors providing working capital to finance product flow – enabling the scaling up of business 1. Lead firm strategy Use a solid lead firm as a way to reach non-bankable suppliers e.g. contract farming (“classic” Value Chain Finance) 2. Capacity building strategy Build capacities of suppliers and build their credit history so they become bankable

  11. 3. Unleashing investments • Financial agents link with chain actors to provide investment capital enabling the upgrading of business • Medium-term syndicate loans • Micro leasing • Temporary equity

  13. Remodeling risk management • Bringing the business into the picture: • Solidity of business rather than standard financial ratios • Future rather than the past • Cash flows rather than balance sheet • The value chain as soft collateral: • Sales contracts • Technical assistance • Group formation • Product claim • Savings and insurance • Information flows

  14. The chain of value chain finance • Risk sharing • Finance for the entire chain • Reaching out to producers

  15. Involving local banks Key role due to proximity: • Develop sector knowledge to show the opportunity • Set-up pilots to build track record • Formalize the chain actors and develop collateral • Schemes for co-financing and risk-sharing

  16. Key issues in Value Chain Finance • Risk sharing is key: need for cross-organizational collaboration and innovation • Added value of VCF is in reorganizing and upgrading the chain • VCF reaches beyond micro-finance • Paradox of chain integration versus creation of monopolies and exclusion • Finance versus other critical chain issues: market, knowledge, skills, collaboration, trust, policies etc.
