Did you know the Alaska Commercial Fishing and Agriculture Bank (CFAB) provides commercial financing up and down the supply chain of food, beverage and bio products in Alaska?     We are thrilled to have CFAB join with Global Food Collaborative and our members to create more and stronger businesses along the supply chain.   This is big news!  Why?   It's big news, because those harvesting or growing food are unique businesses that often are not generally well understood by conventional financial institutions.   Now consider growers, harvesters, manufacturers, etc. in Alaska and some of their seasonal and geographic challenges!   CFAB works exclusively with these companies and has for the past 27 years - and because CFAB operates as a cooperative, once you are accepted for a loan - you also are actually a member of the cooperative!
