At the 31st National Agricultural Show, held in Jinja from June 27th to July 5th, 2025, PostBank Uganda captured the attention of local farmers and visiting delegations from Kenya and Zambia with its tailored agricultural financing solutions.

The week-long exhibition, themed “Technological Innovations Driving Agricultural Wealth”, brought together farmers, agri-entrepreneurs, agro-input dealers, mechanisation providers, financial institutions, and development partners.

PostBank conducted a dedicated training session highlighting its specialised financial products for the agricultural sector, such as the Large-Scale Commercial Farmers Scheme (LSCFS) and Grow Loans. These products are designed to help farmers, especially women-led and rural groups, increase productivity and profitability.

Among the participants were 15 rural women from farmer groups in Uganda, alongside an 11-member women’s delegation from Kenya and a 3-member delegation from Zambia.

Julius Akais, Supervisor of Agriculture & Partnerships at PostBank Uganda, led the session, focusing on innovative, inclusive financing options for women engaged in informal and group-based farming systems. His presentation emphasised the importance of impact-driven credit solutions and the bank’s gender-sensitive approach to agricultural financing.

The interactive session also explored: the Farmers Group Lending Model, Input Financing mechanisms, Seasonal Loan Structures, Mobile and Agency Banking for rural outreach, ESG-aligned loan assessment under the Agricultural Credit Facility (ACF) and Access to partner-funded lending facilities.

Speaking on PostBank’s strategic role, Akais noted, “PostBank continues to play a key role as a financing partner in Uganda’s agricultural transformation—especially by supporting rural communities, women-led farming groups, and informal cooperatives. This exhibition allows us to strengthen ties with agro-input suppliers, mechanisation dealers, irrigation solution providers, and regulators like the Bank of Uganda.”

He added, “Our purpose is to Foster Prosperity for Ugandans. With agriculture employing nearly 60% of the population, we remain committed to closing the financial and knowledge gap, ensuring farmers can fully exploit the sector’s potential through tailored financing and support.”

PostBank’s consistent presence at the National Agricultural Show underscores its commitment to advancing financial inclusion within the agricultural value chain. The event provides a valuable platform for the Bank to engage directly with smallholder farmers, Agri-SMEs, and other sector stakeholders.

In June, the Bank’s impact was further recognised at the Bank of Uganda’s Agriculture Credit Facility (ACF) and Small Business Recovery Fund (SBRF) Awards, where PostBank received five awards and eleven certificates. These accolades reaffirm the Bank’s dedication to supporting Uganda’s agricultural sector through inclusive, innovative, and transformative financial solutions.
