Kavon Badie, Investment Ofcer at Village Capital said, “We chose to invest in Coamana because of their innovative approach to leveraging existing market structures to improve efciencies. They provide farmers and traders, who are often excluded from traditional fnancial systems, access to essential credit and information on producing high-quality inputs, ultimately improving the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers who rely on these markets. This investment aligns perfectly with our fund’s purpose of fostering fnancial inclusion and reducing rural inequality.”
