Root Capital

Root Capital invests in the growth of agricultural enterprises that support smallholder farmers. They seek out enterprises whose credit needs are too big for microfinance and too small or risky for commercial banks. They provide loans ranging from about $200,000 to $2 million specially tailored to harvest and sales cycles. Financing is mixed with highly customized training to strengthen farmers' financial management, governance, and agronomic capacity to help businesses grow over the long term.
