VALUE CHAIN FINANCE TRAINING

Category Short-term Training Programs

Training Programs For Sanasa Primary Societies

“Value chain finance refers to financial products and services that flow to or through any point in a value chain that enable investments that increase actors' returns and the growth and competitiveness of the chain. Whereas financial transactions within a value chain are not new (production finance could be considered "value chain finance"), several emphases distinguish a value chain finance approach. These include improving finance at specific points in the value chain to increase the competitiveness of the entire value chain and involving multiple actors and leveraging relationships to lower or mitigate risk.”
