The problems for farmers.
The top 2 reasons preventing farmers from growing are:
1. Access to finance
It takes many months, or even years of time and financial investment to grow and maintain farm assets before they are ready for harvest.
This creates a massive cash flow dilemma, as conventional lenders in South Africa donāt accept growing assets as collateral.
Our innovative Crowdfarmingā¢ solution creates ethical and sustainable access to finance for farmers.Ā
2. Lack of adequate management systems & integrated AgriTech.
As a cow farmer, itās hard to keep track of your assets using notepads and excel spreadsheets.
This lack of instant, and accurate access to info creates potential for unnecessary losses and incorrect decision making.
So weāve created a free and simple mobile phone app to help you easily and effectively manage your farm, track and even sell your cattle.

Why do investors need farmers?
We provide a service to investors who may not have the skills nor the time to farm for themselves. We enlist the qualified farmers to take care of our investors assets and work towards our projected returns.
