Empowering Smallholder Farmers

About Solution

The current Farmcrowdy model empowers smallholder farmers with access to Market by linking smallholder farmers to food processors who buy up their produce at competitively profitable levels through our digitized aggregation centers thereby eliminating middle-men who usually pay next to nothing for their produce.

This last mile digitization process will see smallholder farmers bring their produce to our digitized aggregation centers for sale while they also have access to procure input for their planting activities. The onboarding process plugs their details into a financial system that profiles them for micro-credits, micro-insurance but at the initial stage would see them own wallets that can be used to fund their financial activities through our Financial Services Partners’ agents within their communities. These digitized aggregation centers will grant food processors real time access to view available commodities across all centers Nigeria and they can lock down their orders and have their trucks pick up from the aggregation centers.

We have captured farmers’ data (about 25,000 at the moment, ongoing phase of 50,000, plan to scale to 500,000 by Q4 2020 and 3 million over the next 3 years) around their biodata, land size, value chain activity, dependant ratios, credit history etc.; this we hope to share with other partners in the chain to better offers customized services aimed at improving the lives of smallholder farmers in Nigeria.

We have commenced work around a full digitization service that will see us capture at the immediate, data of 50,000 new farmers while we hope to work with our agribusiness and financial services partners to achieve a last mile digitization intervention. This will see us access data to support our work and that of our partners in line with the provisions of regulation.
