The Agricultural Finance Crisis

Kenya's smallholder farmers face systemic barriers that have created a persistent KSh 150 billion financing gap, trapping millions in cycles of poverty and underproductivity.

⚠️

Critical Barriers

Traditional financial institutions fail to serve agricultural communities

Invisible Credit History

78% of farmers lack formal credit records, conducting business through handwritten receipts and informal documentation that banks cannot verify.
Collateral Requirements

Traditional banks require land titles or formal assets, excluding 65% of smallholder farmers who lack traditional collateral.
Seasonal Mismatch

Agricultural income patterns don't align with traditional banking products, creating cash flow challenges during planting seasons.
Geographic Isolation

Limited banking infrastructure in rural areas creates accessibility barriers for millions of farming households.
