STRENGTHENING
AFRICAN RURAL
SMALLHOLDERS (STARS)
Blending financial and market
solutions
Dr. Marco Dekker
MERL Manager STARS program
E-mail: m.dekker@icco.nl
Supporting 210,000
smallholder farmers through:
• Access to Finance
• Value Chain Development
The solutions we bring are
based in the local market
system
Smallholder farmers are
actors in that market system,
but existing products are not
always aligned to their needs
5 years, $17 mln
Standard micro-loan
Agricultural micro-loan
Planting season Harvesting season
An micro-credit example:
• Agricultural cycle
• Inputs needed
• Required loan size
• Crop-specific repayment
capacity
• Repayment scheme
Regular repayment
Repayment after crop sale
Disbursement
Disbursement
Smallholder farmers already accessed credit before STARS
But smallholder farmers need targeted financial products
STARS develops a mix of loan products to
address the actual needs of farmers:
• Value Chain Finance (producer
organizations + banks + big buyers)
• Leasing products (equipment)
• Crop-specific individual loans
• Warehouse receipt lending
• Group solidarity lending
STARS goes beyond just developing credit, we look at the
agricultural value chain as a whole
Without access to quality farm inputs or a market to
sell his crops, the farmer still does not benefit
We strengthen services like input supply, fee-
based training, market information services,
agronomic extension services
We build the capacity of Producer Organizations
on management, financial skills, quality control
We link POs to big buyers, commercial banks,
organize B2B sessions, we help develop business
models
And the combination is key to raise yields, sell to markets,
increase crop revenue, and improve food security

Access to Finance
Value Chain Development
Our results so far across four countries
Some examples from studies:
BF - Sesame farmers after improving farming
techniques and accessing credit increased
yields from 80 to 300 kg/ha and farmers went
from 2 to 3 meals a day
SG – Farmers accessing warehouse receipt
loans received higher prices, had less PHL, and
increased their food security in the lean season
RW – After credit risk assessment was
improved in one branch, agri-loan sizes
increased and non-performing loans dropped to
almost zero
ET – A group of potato farmers that were linked
to a big buyer (a Dutch potato chip
manufacturer) sold 244 MT in the first year,
generating interest of MFIs to offer credit
Drivers of success:
• It starts with a good understanding of market constraints and client needs, incl learning loops
• Flexibility to adapt to changing (market) conditions, no linear blueprint implementation
• An approach that goes beyond a single solution, blending multiple solutions
• Focus on systemic change (scale up)
Systemic change (early signs):
MFIs internally scale up and expand developed products to other crops and other branches. POs
become more service and market oriented, and receive credit from banks. Farmers have shown a
willingness to pay for services like training. Value chain coordination improves. New MFIs and POs
join STARS, and the STARS approach is replicated in other value chains.
Challenges:
• Government control of input supply systems, market prices, and producer organizations
• Market distortion by donors providing subsidized products and free services
• Collaboration with big market actors as a relatively small program (no co-investment)
Emphasis in last year:
Climate-resilient agriculture, youth and gender, digital innovation (loan assessment, product flow),
fair and transparent pricing
We help Farmers and
Small Businesses Grow.

Brussels Briefing n. 57: Marco Dekker "Successes in funding mechanisms to support smallholders farming"

  • 1. STRENGTHENING AFRICAN RURAL SMALLHOLDERS (STARS) Blending financial and market solutions Dr. Marco Dekker MERL Manager STARS program E-mail: m.dekker@icco.nl
  • 2. Supporting 210,000 smallholder farmers through: • Access to Finance • Value Chain Development The solutions we bring are based in the local market system Smallholder farmers are actors in that market system, but existing products are not always aligned to their needs 5 years, $17 mln
  • 3. Standard micro-loan Agricultural micro-loan Planting season Harvesting season An micro-credit example: • Agricultural cycle • Inputs needed • Required loan size • Crop-specific repayment capacity • Repayment scheme Regular repayment Repayment after crop sale Disbursement Disbursement
  • 4. Smallholder farmers already accessed credit before STARS
  • 5. But smallholder farmers need targeted financial products STARS develops a mix of loan products to address the actual needs of farmers: • Value Chain Finance (producer organizations + banks + big buyers) • Leasing products (equipment) • Crop-specific individual loans • Warehouse receipt lending • Group solidarity lending
  • 6. STARS goes beyond just developing credit, we look at the agricultural value chain as a whole Without access to quality farm inputs or a market to sell his crops, the farmer still does not benefit We strengthen services like input supply, fee- based training, market information services, agronomic extension services We build the capacity of Producer Organizations on management, financial skills, quality control We link POs to big buyers, commercial banks, organize B2B sessions, we help develop business models
  • 7. And the combination is key to raise yields, sell to markets, increase crop revenue, and improve food security Processors, big buyers Traders Producer organizations (CB) Smallholder farmer Input supplier, BDS provider, FFS State and commercial banks Microfinance institutions (CB) Crowdsourcing Refinancers Savings mobilization 1) Access to finance 2) Value Chain Development
  • 8. Our results so far across four countries (Y4) Solidarity group clients Individual clients (loose VCs) VC Clients (tight VCs) Warehouse lending (in Senegal only) Leasing Total 63,022 10,262 74,758 1,981 Under development 150,023 Training Farm inputs Market access Agri-info access Total 31,674 34,791 88,673 23,241 178,379 Access to Finance Value Chain Development
  • 9. Our results so far across four countries Some examples from studies: BF - Sesame farmers after improving farming techniques and accessing credit increased yields from 80 to 300 kg/ha and farmers went from 2 to 3 meals a day SG – Farmers accessing warehouse receipt loans received higher prices, had less PHL, and increased their food security in the lean season RW – After credit risk assessment was improved in one branch, agri-loan sizes increased and non-performing loans dropped to almost zero ET – A group of potato farmers that were linked to a big buyer (a Dutch potato chip manufacturer) sold 244 MT in the first year, generating interest of MFIs to offer credit
  • 10. Drivers of success: • It starts with a good understanding of market constraints and client needs, incl learning loops • Flexibility to adapt to changing (market) conditions, no linear blueprint implementation • An approach that goes beyond a single solution, blending multiple solutions • Focus on systemic change (scale up) Systemic change (early signs): MFIs internally scale up and expand developed products to other crops and other branches. POs become more service and market oriented, and receive credit from banks. Farmers have shown a willingness to pay for services like training. Value chain coordination improves. New MFIs and POs join STARS, and the STARS approach is replicated in other value chains. Challenges: • Government control of input supply systems, market prices, and producer organizations • Market distortion by donors providing subsidized products and free services • Collaboration with big market actors as a relatively small program (no co-investment) Emphasis in last year: Climate-resilient agriculture, youth and gender, digital innovation (loan assessment, product flow), fair and transparent pricing
