Who is our customer
German based Neumann Kaffee Gruppe (NKG) is a leading green coffee merchandiser with operations spread over 26 countries. The group is active across the entire coffee value chain, from owning and operating coffee farms to exportation of green coffee from origins and importation of green coffee into consuming regions. NKG also has service divisions which offer market research, coffee-related training and education, warehousing, milling, blending and logistics solutions.
What is our funding objective?
To enhance the knowledge and skills of NKG exporter staff in Uganda, Tanzania and Honduras in operating and delivering effective, efficient and impactful financial services to coffee producers in their supply chains using the Smallholder Livelihood Facility (“SLF”).
Why do we fund this investment?
To support the objective of our investment in NKG’s Smallholder Livelihood Facility (“SLF”) to source sustainably produced coffee and support the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. The farmer finance element is crucial to the success of the SLF because smallholders require financing to increase quality and quantity of coffee produced for off-take by NKG and its partners. By building the microfinance capacity on-the-ground, smallholder farmers can improve their productivity and profitability which directly relates to FMO’s strategic focus on SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities within countries.
