COFFEE FINANCE
At World Coffee Alliance (WCA), we provide sector analysis in Coffee Finance and how financial institutions and investors help SMEs to fund their coffee projects. With unpredictable weather which affects coffee production, which leads to losses in potential revenues, and therefore affects loan repayments, World Coffee Alliance (WCA) can assist SMEs to develop strategic plans and provide cost benefit analysis.
This is where our panel of financial and investment analysts provide some topographical and risk-assessment studies, guiding farmers to incorporate climate change in their financial management in coffee farming.
Without financing infrastructure like irrigation and drip technology, rain water collection in farm and factory levels in place, delays in coffee payments leads to multiple borrowing among small holders, increasing their level of indebtedness. At World Coffee Alliance (WCA), we can provide sustainable strategies and action plans which can develop services to facilitate cost-effective and faster mode of payment, making it more practical and deliverable. Sustainability is therefore key in making financial decisions.
