Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedSmallholder farmers take the input loans; commodity off-takers and agri partners buy the aggregated grain.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
UnverifiedFarmers lack cash for inputs at planting season and lack reliable market access at harvest.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Onboard farmers (data, clusters, group leaders); map farms; distribute seeds, fertiliser and crop protection as in-kind loans; field officers monitor and advise; collect and store harvest in warehouses with digital payment; track off-taker and inventory activity.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
UnverifiedFinances inputs rather than cash and recovers value at harvest by aggregating, storing and trading the commodities (site claims 1.9M+ MT grains produced and traded, 225,000 MT storage); margin presumably from input markup and commodity trading.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Field-officer led: farmers onboarded in community clusters with group leaders, served via 490 aggregation hubs and 2,700 communities.
