Nsengo embodies a finance that nourishes the future.
We aim to sustainably transform smallholder farmers’ access to finance by building an alternative to one-off aid and traditional microfinance: a circular, traceable, replicable model rooted in local producers groups.
Empowering smallholder farmers to feed Africa
600 million smallholder farmers in Africa
They produce 80% of the continent’s food but remain largely excluded from financing systems.< 2 hectares cultivated by most
Mostly small-scale, non-mechanized family farming.6 times less productive than the global average (FAO source)
Limited access to inputs, training, and credit.24 % the average microcredit interest rate for farmers
Access to credit is rare, expensive, or informal.$55 billion in annual needs (AFD source)
Most needs remain unmet by current programs.Nsengo’s Objectives
