About us
Kenya Rural Transformation Centres Digital Platform project introduces a uniquely tailored innovative digital platform, which allows various service providers to plug in, while delivering affordable and timely services to farmers and other value chain actors.

Our goal
The goal of the project is to increase productivity, profitability and sustainability of agricultural cooperatives, and to consequently impact the entire agriculture, food and trade value chains, spurring holistic growth across Kenya's agricultural sector. The project's goal will be achieved through the creation of a single point of convergence for all agro-sector stakeholders in Kenya, thereby connecting farmers with the private sector actors as well as public sector services.
Our Services
Accrued trust among actors as the entire value chain shares a common information pipeline and participates in paperless trade
- --
Value creation and decision making through access to agribusiness services and information
- e.g., broadcast of agricultural-cycle information (weather forecasts, wholesale and retail commodity prices, higher yield crops, etc.), training on new farming practices (climate-resilient practices and/or green growth, pesticide, disease control, extension services, intervention strategies)
Access to financial services
e.g., the platform ensures subsidies in fertilizers are directly received by the end-users, financial institutions will be connected, thus overcoming the barrier of lack of data or asymmetric information, so as to ease the supply-side of funding
Aggregation, availability of resources at a reduced cost.
e.g., online purchase of seeds, renting mechanized equipment at a reduced cost of transport for buyer and seller, possibility to target locations for bulk delivery, evaluate quality of fertilizers with interaction with other users
Access reliable information through continuous scanning...
Access reliable information through continuous scanning, analysis and cross-reference online. Coupled with reduced costs, this will generate market opportunities, emulate local agriculture enterprise and induce better quality of inputs and yields
