"Agro-Preneurship"
Cecilia Wanjiku Mwangi at her family's farm in Kenya, where they grow macadamia nuts for Afrimac. The company fits in what Root Capital calls the "missing middle" - too big for microfinance, and too small to obtain credit from larger commercial banks. Root Capital provides financing to small and growing agricultural businesses that aggregate products from over 750,000 small-scale farming families, who in turn represent over 3M individuals, like Cecilia Wanjiku Mwangi.
