“This new kick-start initiative will see this partnership expand to enable Rabobank Foundation to engage small-holder farmers in production and processing,” said Neumann Kaffe Gruppe/NKG East Africa chief executive Danilo Pucci.
Rabobank has had a presence in Kenya since opening a representative office in 2014.
“We are now extending our depth of knowledge, skills, networks and financing resources to the entire agricultural sector and food value-chain across the African continent,” said Rabobank Africa chief executive Coert Beerman.
