Agricultural finance will become more inclusive when it reflects how farmers and agribusinesses actually operate.
At #FINAS2026, Wairimu Munyinyi-Wahome, Country Director of Heifer International Kenya, called for financing models built around production cycles, trusted data, functioning markets, and shared risk.
Farmers, cooperatives, and agri-enterprises should not remain excluded because their businesses do not fit conventional lending models. The task ahead is to design financial systems that recognize their performance, reduce risk, and support their growth into resilient, investable enterprises.

"When women have the power to lead, the impact goes far beyond the farm." – Neena Joshi, Senior Vice President, Asia Programs, Heifer International
Women farmers are the backbone of our food systems, yet their stories often go untold. As Neena Joshi reminds us, empowering women as decision-makers creates stronger families, more resilient communities, and sustainable growth for all.
On July 6, meet one such farmer leader. SAVE THE DATE!
🎥 Day in the Life of a Woman Farmer – Nepal featuring Prajakta Koli follows Sharada Nepal as she navigates the challenges and triumphs of farming, family, and community leadership.
Because every woman farmer has a story to tell.
The question is: Are we listening?
