THEORY OF CHANGE
Our Approach
Identify & Train
We recruit smallholder farmers and provide them with premium crop inputs and agronomic training.
Organize & Aggregate
Farmers are organized into groups. Their produce is aggregated and quality-controlled at collection points.
Connect to Markets
We secure offtake agreements with processors, supermarkets, and exporters before farmers plant.
Pay Transparently
Farmers receive prompt, fair payments via mobile money. No hidden deductions.
Scale & Replicate
Success in Busia becomes a model for other counties across Kenya and East Africa.
“We are not building a charity. We are building a business that is only profitable if the farmers we work with are profitable first. That alignment of incentives is our most important innovation.”
