Program Management Unit
The Program Management Unit (PMU) is the central coordination and governance body of the Agri Vision Program. It ensures that the program operates according to international financial institution (IFI) standards for transparency, risk management, ESG compliance, and reporting, while connecting lenders, agroholdings, digital platforms, advisors, and farmers within a single financing ecosystem.
The PMU is responsible for designing and implementing the program’s operational framework, including eligibility criteria, credit procedures, contractual standards, ESG safeguards, and monitoring systems. It oversees the integration of digital tools used for farmer onboarding, credit processing, agrarian notes registration, and portfolio reporting.
A key function of the PMU is supporting the formalisation and bankability of small and medium-sized farmers. Working with agroholdings and digital partners, the PMU helps farmers adopt transparent business practices, digital bookkeeping, and compliance systems that improve access to finance over time.
The PMU also liaises directly with digital partners that automate and digitalise the transactions with small farmers. Primary among these is the financial company, Activitis, to whom agroholdings outsource the credit and verification process.
Agri Vision’s PMU is led by 89 Global together with EY Ukraine and PwC Ukraine, combining sector expertise in agricultural finance, with on the ground experience in legal structuring agrarian notes, ESG oversight, and digital risk assurance.
