  • Planting the Seeds: navigating the lack of access to machinery

    Developing farmers who struggle to gain access to machinery may need to consider hiring a contractor rather than buying their own equipment. This is due to the cost of importing farming equipment, high transportation costs and interest rates have contributed to the increase in machinery prices. With limited financial equity to acquire their equipment, emerging farmers need to navigate how to remain competitive in the market whilst not having access to equipment at the right time during the production process. Our next guest will help us unpack how financial institutions can provide feasible solutions
