Who uses export finance?

Breeders, multipliers, seed exporters and agricultural input manufacturers in Europe, Israel, the US, India, China, Turkey and Latin America shipping to commercial buyers worldwide.

Pre-shipment vs post-shipment?

Pre-shipment funds the production cycle — multiplication, processing, certification and packing — against confirmed orders. Post-shipment converts shipped receivables to immediate cash via factoring or discounted LCs.

Can ECA cover be layered in?

Yes. Where the exporter's jurisdiction has an active ECA programme (Eksfin, KUKE, Coface, Euler Hermes, SACE, EXIM, UKEF, EDC), we structure ECA-backed facilities to extend tenor and reduce buyer-credit risk.

Does this work alongside buyer-side facilities?

Yes. SeedMatchGroup can stand up matching importer-side LCs or working-capital lines on the buyer end, so the same transaction is financed cleanly on both sides.

Global — Local Market Context

Seed exporters carry an unusually long working-capital cycle: multiplication contracts, processing, certification, packaging and shipment can run nine to eighteen months before cash returns. General-purpose trade lines aren't built for that cadence.

Pre-shipment finance funds the production cycle against confirmed orders so equity isn't carrying it. Post-shipment factoring frees cash on shipped receivables immediately. ECA-backed structures extend tenor and de-risk first-time importer relationships in higher-risk markets.

Buyer-side LCs and working-capital lines can be arranged in parallel through our network, so a single transaction is financed cleanly on both ends.
