Smallholder farmers are feeding the world, but the vast majority live in poverty. Only 7% have access to financing through traditional banks and microfinance.

At myAgro, we think that farmers can finance themselves.

What We Do

myAgro’s mission is to move smallholder farmers out of poverty.
myAgro developed a mobile layaway system that is based on habits and behaviors that are already part of smallholders’ lives. It relies on scratch cards –similar to mobile phone credit. Instead of having to purchase $100 for seeds and fertilizer in a lump sum, farmers can purchase a myAgro card just as they do their daily shopping – in increments that are small and convenient.
