A video from our Uganda based borrower Asili Agriculture

Asili Farms produces maize, soybeans, and other grains and oil seeds. Asili continues to research and grow by adapting climate-smart farming practices across its 8,000 hectares and by transferring these practices to thousands of small holder farmers they work with and support through their producer services division. Asili Agriculture exemplifies our mission and efforts at TriLinc to invest in enterprises which seek to generate meaningful social and environmental impacts. We believe Asili has become the lifeblood of their Ugandan economies, generating a substantial amount of food crop and having a positive effect on its local communities by offering stable and growing incomes, transacting with local businesses and supporting thousands of smallholder farmers with access to knowledge, quality inputs and markets. We are proud to support Asili and their efforts to help contribute towards a better future for their communities and their families. Click here to view video.

TriLinc Celebrates and Honors the achievements of women this International Women’s Day

This International Women’s Day, TriLinc Global honors the first women’s rights conference on July 19, 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York.

The participants approved a Declaration of Sentiments that denounced 16 forms of discrimination against women. This conference launched the modern women’s rights movement, not only sparking women’s suffrage but also galvanizing them into a dynamic political force. The United States Postal Services commemorated the centennial of this convention by issuing “ The 100 Years of Progress of Women” stamp in Senecca Falls. TriLinc salutes these trailblazers and the thousands of women who have followed in their footsteps.
