Three situations of value chain finance
1. Crafting new value chains
2. Expanding chain liquidity
3. Unleashing investments
1. Crafting new chainsMarket and produce available, yet no chain. Finance linked to capacity building to develop the chain
2. Expanding chain liquidityFinancial agents link with chain actors providing working capital to finance product flow – enabling the scaling up of business
1. Lead firm strategyUse a solid lead firm as a way to reach non-bankable suppliers e.g. contract farming (“classic” Value Chain Finance)
2. Capacity building strategyBuild capacities of suppliers and build their credit history so they become bankable
3. Unleashing investments

Remodeling risk managementBringing the business into the picture: Solidity of business rather than standard
financial ratios Future rather than the past Cash flows rather than balance sheet
The value chain as soft collateral: Sales contracts Technical assistance Group formation Product claim Savings and insurance Information flows
The chain of value chain finance Risk sharing Finance for the entire chain Reaching out to producers
Involving local banks
Key role due to proximity:
Develop sector knowledge to show the opportunity
Set-up pilots to build track record
Formalize the chain actors and develop collateral
Schemes for co-financing and risk-sharing
Key issues in Value Chain Finance
Risk sharing is key: need for cross-organizational collaboration and innovation
Added value of VCF is in reorganizing and upgrading the chain
VCF reaches beyond micro-finance
Paradox of chain integration versus creation of monopolies and exclusion
Finance versus other critical chain issues: market, knowledge, skills, collaboration, trust, policies etc.
The Value Chain Finance Book
Produced through a “Writeshop”
The “writeshop” approach is specifically designed to assist people to get the information out of their heads and onto paper
Practioners, farmers, traders, extensionists, NGO people, civil servants etc. are not necessarily good writers however they have an interesting story to tell
A writeshop is an intensive, participatory workshop where people jointly produce a practical book in easy-to-understand language
The Value Chain Finance bookProvides practical knowledge for organizations working on market development, value chains, financial services
