Farmcrowdy

African smallholder farmers experience four main pain points – Access to finance, access to viable inputs, lack of training good agronomic practices and access to superior markets. Farmcrowdy creates a solution that helps in maximizing output and increasing profits for stakeholders with its proprietary technology called Farmgate. This involves cheaper input bundles negotiated for retailers and culminates in cheaper inputs to the farmers as a result of bulk ordering by retail agents. Farmgate solution boosts financial Inclusion and promotes farmer’s data profiling, advisory services, procurement, agency banking, microcredit and insurance and commodity aggregation of retail points as collection centres for commodity offtake from the farmers. This solution addresses access to cheap sources of finance, viable inputs and superior markets; leveraging technology to reduce the cost of production, open market access and better yields – all in one.
