About Us

Our journey with building value in the agri finance ecosystem began six years ago. Today, our team has enabled communities, empowered farmers, helped agricultural ecosystems find self-sustenance and made trade and agricultural finance a hassle-free experience for all value chain players.

Our Vision

Make markets work for the smallholder farmers and make agri value chains operate at a higher equilibrium.

Our Mission

To provide smallholder farmers and agri enterprises access to markets through financial intermediation, market linkages and advisory services so that the enterprises and value chains that they are engaged in, operate at a higher equilibrium thereby creating value for all stakeholders in the agri value chain.
