Our instant payment solution reduces the payment waiting period for farmers and labourers by up to 45 days in some value chains. As a result, we are enabling the farmers to go on with their lives. Our instant payment solution, which is pegged at farmgate prices, therefore increases the smallholder farmer’s income by giving them a higher rate than the local market rate.

What we do
Small-Holder farmers paid faster
01
Demand assurance.
Our processors have guaranteed demand from international off-takers, through our platform, we are able to give assurance downstream to aggregators (SMEs’), smallholder farmers and input providers backed by international contracts Our deliveries by farmers to processors once accepted form an irrevocable contract that create value that can be used as collateral by farmers to access finance. Therefore, the international contracts signed by processors and the demonstration of their ability to aggregate produce efficiently through our platform also demonstrate their investability by debt financing companies.
02
Digitisation.
The biggest benefit delivered by Ketha is digitization of the processes across the value chain. This investment by Ketha has reduced the cost of operations for processors and eased processes like farmer onboarding, collections, tracking and batching, and value management. Digitization also generates new data sets and insights that were not available before, hence improving decision-making.
03
Farmer education & training.
Knowledge is power. We offer comprehensive training programs to educate farmers about the latest agritech innovations and best practices. Through workshops, online courses, and field demonstrations, we empower farmers with the skills they need to succeed.
