ATI programmes report Br2.62bn in loans and over Br1.59bn in agricultural financing

Key takeaways

  • Br2.62 billion in loans reached 146 enterprises through ATI’s Agri-Hub programme in 2025/26, Ethiopian Business Review reports.
  • ADEY mobilised over Br1.59 billion for 22,835 agricultural enterprises.
  • 78% of ADEY’s financed enterprises were women-led.
  • ADEY works with the Mastercard Foundation and connects businesses with banks, cooperatives and digital finance providers.
  • The two programme totals are reported separately; possible overlap is not disclosed.

Why it matters

  • The programmes connect agricultural businesses with multiple financing channels.
  • Agri-Hub also provides business training and tailored advice.
  • Analysis: Different beneficiary counts make a combined average financing figure potentially misleading.

What to watch
