Building the foundations for
structured trade in Malawi
Incorporated in 2007, ACE Trust is one of ACE’s four entities. It was established to support ACE the Commodity Exchange with structural developments for commercial investments, by designing and implementing projects alongside development partners.
Common to all ACE Trust projects is the promotion of inclusive models, paving the way for a commercially sustainable agricultural commodity exchange and structured trade entities. At the same time, smallholder farmers’ capacity building is central to activities to boost both their productivity and livelihoods.
