We provide partner financial institutions and businesses with critical skills and innovative technologies to fully optimize our Lines of Credit and Credit Guarantees, fostering improved financial access, sustainable growth, and economic development.
RDF works with and through intermediary institutions (financial and non-financial) to provide funding for the agriculture and renewable energy sectors. We typically identify prospective partners and receive applications for our facilities. Upon meeting our criteria, our prospective partners receive funds from us to on-lend our targeted beneficiaries who are involved in primary agriculture in rural Ghana. The company is charting a new course in our latest engagements with outgrower schemes to deepen our financial inclusion agenda. RDF, inspired by the resilience and resourcefulness of local communities, believes that agriculture, backed by renewable energy interventions holds the key to Ghana’s economic transformation. With financial constraints cited in many agriculture reports as a major bottleneck in the sector, RDF exists to bridge the financial gap to facilitate productivity and socio-economic impact for the over 40% population that depend on it for their livelihood including smallholder famers who feed over 90% of the country. We recognise that our beneficiaries are our agents of change. Therefore, beyond funding, we provide them with capacity-building opportunities that empower them to meet the changing and competitive demands of the local and global market. Equipped with the right tools and resources, our beneficiaries become proactive advocates for the sustainability of agriculture in Ghana. Our end goal is to contribute toward the achievement of SDGs 1,2,5,7, 8 and 13.

We are happy to announce the latest addition to our product delivery under our Lines of Credit product; the RDF Outgrower Loan Scheme. The RDF Outgrower Loan is RDF’s direct debt intervention for small-holder farmers designed to increase access to credit and enhance the adoption of climate adaptation and mitigation practices. The product leverages the outgrower scheme model to provide input and aggregation credit, along with tailored technical assistance to smallholder farmers. This is delivered through outgrower businesses (OBs)—businesses operating outgrower schemes. OBs may be farm businesses, input dealers, aggregators, agritech companies, or NGOs.
