Growing interest in small scale farmers by financial institutions, banks MFIs, NGOs amongst others has increased the number of financial products available. However, few farmers know of these financial and insurance products thus limiting their uptake and utilization. APF Uganda is organizing a series of Agri-Finance Fairs to:

• Increase the awareness and access of farmers to information on the financial products and services available in the market
• Provide space for the start of deal-making arrangements between farmers (‘ organisations) and financial service providers
• Encourage the development of financial services targeting farmers by sharing, recognising and awarding those that are innovative
• Learn from good practices where the financial services match with the needs of farmers, processors and traders.

APF Uganda will host the Marketplace events in a number of regions beginning with Rwenzori. This event will focus on: Coffee, Maize, Cocoa and other value chains products. The marketplace will be open to welcome providers of innovative technologies and services including:

• Farmers organisations
• Financial institutions
• Insurance companies
• Processors
• Input supplies, traders
• SACCOs
• Micro Finance Organisations
• Development Agencies and NGOs
