Agricultural Finance

Credit that grows with the harvest

Ekulibi finances farmers of every size and settles with the partners who buy from them, with repayment tracked from the field to the final sale, not just on a spreadsheet.

How it works

From the first farm visit to the final settlement

Every step is tracked and reconciled, so a farmer's status is always current for the farmer and for the partner who buys from them.

  1. 01

    Onboard & verify

    A farmer profile is registered on the ground, with farm data and identity verified.

  2. 02

    Score & disburse

    Credit scoring evaluates each application before loans are approved and disbursed.

  3. 03

    Repay with produce

    Farmers repay in-kind: produce is submitted, valued, and applied to the loan balance.

  4. 04

    Settle & report

    Partners are settled on delivered produce, with a clear record for every transaction.

In the field

Real farms, real repayment

Ekulibi runs where the work happens: on the farm, in the field, and at the drying mat.

What we do

Built for every part of agricultural finance

From onboarding to settlement: one connected record, not a stack of disconnected tools.

Farmer onboarding & KYC

Structured registration, document capture, and verification built for field conditions.

Credit scoring

Farm and repayment data turn into a decision-ready credit grade for every applicant.

Loan management

Application, approval, and disbursement tracked from request to repayment in full.

Produce-based repayment

Farmers repay loans in-kind: produce submissions are captured, valued, and reconciled.

Partner settlements

Buyers, processors, and aggregators are settled against verified produce delivery.

Built on trust

Every transaction leaves a clear, reliable record for the farmer and the partner alike.

Value chain financing

Liquidity from the buyer

Ekulibi channels capital and inputs to farmers through the trade relationship itself, the partners who buy their harvest, rather than a conventional loan. It's how both ends of the value chain move forward together.

The cycle

Capital secured from partners

Buyers and processors commit capital and inputs, financing the farmer through the trade relationship itself.

Farmers found and verified

Field officers register profiles, capture farm data, and verify identity on the ground.

Farmers scored and approved

Credit scoring grades each application before anything is disbursed.

Loans disbursed, work continues

Financing reaches the farmer, sustaining the work and the jobs behind every harvest.

Produce repaid, capital recycles

Farmers repay in-kind, partners settle, and the same capital funds the next season.

Then it repeats: the same capital, the same partners, the next season.

For farmers

Guaranteed market access

Contracts with buyers and anchor firms are secured before harvest, so there’s no scramble to find a buyer afterward.

Stable pricing

Locked-in terms protect farmers from post-harvest price swings and minimize losses.

Higher yields, more profit

Guaranteed inputs, technical training, and reliable buyers let farmers scale with confidence.

For partners

Supply chain security

Financing farmers and suppliers locks in volume commitments, so shortages don’t stall production.

Lower procurement costs

Direct financing relationships, built on existing trade ties, cut the cost of sourcing raw material.

Full capacity, reliably

A steady, high-quality supply keeps processing lines running at consistent capacity.

Every contract signed and every harvest financed is a step toward more work in the communities that grow it.
