A significant hurdle faced by unbanked farmers in Africa is the lack of access to financial services, which severely impacts their ability to grow and sustain their agricultural businesses. Traditional financial institutions often shy away from providing credit to farmers due to the absence of formal employment and credit records, leaving them with few options to secure funds for their agricultural activities.
Imfuyo recognized this disparity and took up the challenge to address the financing gaps in the agricultural sector. By embracing innovative Agri-Fin-Tech solutions, they have set out to empower farmers with the financial support they need to thrive.
