Emata - Future of Farmer Financing

THE PROBLEM

Agriculture accounts for:

80%

of employment

30%

of GDP

of lending

Yes, despite being a cornerstone of African economies, agriculture only attracts a fraction of the lending.

How it works

our model

How do we help cooperatives & farmers?

Emata works with cooperatives to offer affordable loans that allow farmers to invest in the productivity of their farms.

Step 1: Help co-ops get digital

Emata provides coops with a free system that simplifies and gives them an overview of their day-to-day operations.

Step 2: Data-driven decision-making

By working with co-ops and farmers, we learn how to identify the good farmers. This helps cooperatives and us reward hard work.

Step 3: Affordable loans for farmers

By combining the farmer data with advanced risk analytics, we are able to offer affordable loans that are tailored to the needs of each farmer.
