Founder and Chairman of Mount Elgon Agroforestry Communities Cooperative Enterprise Ltd (MEACCE), he is proud of their signature product: specialty Arabica coffee.
It was participation in the Market Access Upgrade Programme (MARKUP) training and coaching on access to finance that enabled MEACCE to prepare its business plan for potential investors.
The access to working capital from Root Capital proved to be crucial support for MEACCE in braving the COVID-19 storm by completing their contractual obligations.
MEACCE received support from the Market Access Upgrade Programme (MARKUP).
The MARKUP aims to increase exports of agribusiness and horticultural products and promote regional integration and access to the European market by addressing specific challenges that Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Trade and Investment Support Institutions (TISIs) and policy-makers face in accessing regional and EU export markets.
