INVESTOR BRIEF
MKV sits between global capital and smallholder coffee farmers in Uganda. You finance short-term, coffee-backed positions. MKV structures, monitors, and reports on those positions, and farmers use the capital to move from pre-harvest costs through to export and final sale.
How capital moves
Capital flows from investors into MKV structures, then on to farmers and partnered banks for distribution. Coffee is produced, graded, and sold into local and global markets. Proceeds repay capital and returns, with MKV tracking each financed batch along the way.
What you get back
- Exposure to real-economy, coffee-linked returns rather than purely financial derivatives.
- Measurable social, environmental, and financial impact across rural households.
- Transparent reporting on batch performance, repayments, and household outcomes.
Your role in the MKV value-creation cycle
The MKV model is built as a loop: capital enters through investors, moves through farmers and financial institutions, and returns as shared wealth and community impact. As an investor, you are the starting point for this cycle.
1. Investors
Provide private placements and structured capital that seed coffee batches and seasonal programs.
2. MKV Platform
Acts as the structuring hub: contracts, traceability, risk management, and quality assurance across each financed batch.
3. Farmers & banks
Farmers access pre-harvest financing and technical support while commercial banks distribute capital and support scaling.
4. Public & export markets
Coffee is sold into local and global markets, creating the revenue that services investor capital and returns.
5. Shared wealth & impact
Farmers gain better incomes and resilience; communities benefit from education, inclusion, and long-term opportunity.
6. Flywheel for future growth
Proven performance unlocks more capital, enabling MKV to scale across value chains while future-proofing agriculture and finance in Uganda.
