SIINC for agricultural SME lending

This collaboration between ROOT CAPITAL and Roots of Impact applies the SIINC model for the first time on a portfolio level. The model was piloted in Latin America. Here, market-correcting incentives are used to compensate for the high operating costs and risk associated with high-additionality loans to early-stage agricultural businesses creating significant positive impact. For more information, please see ROOT CAPITAL’S LEARNINGS or ARTICLE about how linking finance to impact creates positive change for smallholder farmers supported by Root Capital.
