CoFarmer

Co-Farmer is an agri-tech platform that evaluates farmers with different farm projects, who have financial stress and links them to possible individual and/or organisational investors. It employs various scrutiny mechanisms including vetting of farmers and analysis of different projects together with the cash-flows where possible, using various analytical tools to guarantee its investors more profits from the farm operations.
This equity crowdfunding platform is focused on specialty crop operations, further offering fractional farmland ownership opportunities to its members and investors.
Our Drive;
1. Ease Farmers Access to Capital.
A deficiency of credit makes it difficult for farmers to expand or upgrade their farms resulting in subsistence farming. Farmers can now access funding through individual/organisational investment or crowdfunding.
2. Agriculture as an alternative investment option for non-farmers.
Agriculture has different risks as compared to the stock market. Factors that may affect a stock value have little consequence on agricultural investment. Well-researched agri-business has proven to have a hedge against inflation than bonds and the stock market.
3. Return on Investment.
Agricultural investment may not have consistent returns, however in-depth analysis putting into consideration uncertainties, benchmarking alternatives and evaluation of performance over time guarantees stable returns.
Further;
4. Ownership in a farm operation allows organisations/investors to be part of the various aspects that go into agriculture and the effort that goes in to feeding the world.
5. This also fosters youth in agriculture.
