How does your innovation work?
Here’s how our model works: Asset-Based Loans.Farmers receive high-quality seeds and fertilizer on credit, and we offer a flexible repayment system that allows them to pay back their loans in any amount throughout the loan term. Delivery.We deliver inputs to locations within walking distance of every farmer we serve. Training.Farmers receive training throughout the season on modern agricultural techniques. Market Facilitation.We offer crop storage solutions and teach farmers about market fluctuations, so that they can time crop sales to maximize profits. Every link in this chain is important—if one is missing, then the others won’t have as much impact. One Acre Fund provides all of these services together, enabling farmers to significantly increase their incomes and build paths to prosperity.
