ThriveAgric is an agricultural technology company that supports farmers with access to input finance and technology-driven advisory (pre and post harvesting—including linking them to profitable markets) that help them increase their yield and ensuring food security.
The intention is to create a self-sufficient Africa that feeds itself and the world. The company bundles a variety of products and services and distributes them in rural areas through its networks as well as partnering with agriculture organizations, enabling smallholder farmers to increase their capacities to meet supply, quality, and food safety standards required by domestic and export markets.
Thrive Agric is building the largest network of farmers (mostly small holders) in Africa and empowering them by removing barriers to accessing capital and financial services, data-driven best practices and technology to improve yield as well as access to local and global markets for their commodities; towards ensuring food security for all.
