About myAgro
myAgro helps farmers move out of poverty: we do this with a simple approach.
We help farmers manage their cash flow better – at harvest time when farmers have more cash, they can lock away their funds for seeds and fertilizer for the next season.
They pay using their mobile phone (or mobile money in Tanzania) and myAgro delivers the inputs they’ve paid for before it rains and provides technical training so farmers know how to use the inputs efficiently.
This leads to 50% more food and 50% more income per farm. To date myAgro serves 89,000 farmers and will scale to 1 million farmers by 2025.
The award-winning team has received recognition from Skoll Foundation, Echoing Green, World Bank, Bill Gates and more.
