Unlocking the potential of entrepreneurial farming in the Global South by providing equity or quasi equity

About us

Some producer organisations in the South make impressive social and economic progress. They have become catalysts for development. But as these organisations grow and expand, they face a huge obstacle: lack of access to capital. They have outgrown the microfinance market, but are still too small and fragile to be eligible for the traditional investment market or even for most social investors. They are confronted with the so called missing middle. Kampani stands out from other social investors thanks to an audacious combination of strategic choices: – Investing directly and strengthening the balance sheet of the investee through the use of equity or quasi-equity – A long investment horizon of up to 10 years – Only in the agro-food value chain – Active involvement in the governance of the investee – Small investment amounts (100k to 500k euros) This pioneering combination of strategic choices constitutes Kampani’s unique selling proposition. Having built a rather exceptional ecosystem via its shareholders – comprising most of the relevant players in Belgium – and a limited number of close partners, Kampani is convinced it can face the challenges inherent to this approach. For instance, Kampani sources its deals exclusively via this network. This generates significant cost savings and accelerates the trust building between Kampani and the investee.

    Exciting News: New Partnership with COLEAD! We’re closing the month of October on a high note with some wonderful news – we are delighted to welcome COLEAD (formerly COLEACP) as a new shareholder and strategic partner in our network! Founded in 1973, COLEAD is a non-profit association that unites a broad network of companies, professional organizations, and experts dedicated to inclusive and sustainable agriculture. With a strong focus on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), COLEAD has developed a range of tools, training programs, and development initiatives tailored to the agricultural sector. COLEAD offers a unique blend of public online resources and on-the-ground support programs, addressing key challenges faced by agricultural stakeholders. Their areas of expertise include research and innovation, technical assistance, regulatory and standards monitoring, market insights, network building, and access to finance. This is where Kampani steps in – to complement COLEAD’s offerings by providing long-term financing to small agribusinesses and cooperatives. On our side, we are eager to leverage COLEAD’s services and extensive network to forge new partnerships, while offering our existing clients access to their broad range of expertise. Together, we are committed to improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and advancing sustainable agricultural practices across the Global South. This partnership marks a significant step forward in expanding our shareholder-stakeholder model, uniting mission-aligned organizations committed to positive impact. Stay tuned for updates in the coming weeks as we look forward to the synergies that this new collaboration will bring – and some exciting new deals are also on the horizon!

    The new Council on Smallholder Agricultural Finance (CSAF) 2023 State of the Sector Report is out! 📢 The report analyzes lending data and insights from the portfolios of 19 financial institutions (including Kampani) serving #agricultural #SMEs. We invite you to learn more about sectoral trends by downloading the report below and by participating in the webinar on July 31 at 10AM EDT / 2PM GMT / 4PM CEST!

    Our new 2024 State of the Sector Report reviews 2023 lending activity across 19 financial institutions, totaling $697 million to over 675 businesses across 55 countries. The report analyzes the risks & challenges #agriSMEs face today, and how agricultural lenders are responding. Four key trends from 2023: 1️⃣ Lending volume decreased, though the number of borrowers grew slightly – particularly across clients borrowing less than $250K. 2️⃣ Risk increased, driven by borrower challenges amid overlapping crises. In particular, risk increased in South America and Africa and for loans greater than $1M.  3️⃣ Coffee activity saw its steepest drop in the past decade. Driven by a volatile market and significant challenges in Peru, coffee disbursements dropped by $86M. 4️⃣ Lenders have increased technical assistance to help borrowers mitigate risk – investing in clients through increased business development services, especially to increase management capacity and build climate resilience.
