We invest in farmers and dare them to dream big.
With Emata, we bring digital and affordable financial products to farmers in East Africa.
Africa can – and must – help cover our world's growing food needs. That growth starts with you.
Despite being a cornerstone of African economies, agriculture only attracts a fraction of the lending. We are changing that by giving you loans to grow your farm into a business.
