iProcure
Historically, rural farmers in Kenya have had to struggle with an overpriced and poor selection of inputs in a market flooded with counterfeits. iProcure’s supply systems resolve this by introducing transparency, traceability and predictability; mitigating the occurrences of counterfeits, product stock-outs and inconsistent pricing of products.
Smallholder farmers benefit through improvements in pricing (affordability), accessibility of higher quality of agricultural inputs, as well as consistency of supply, leading to lower, more stable prices.
Social and environmental impact
iProcure’s technology and logistics improve the efficiency of supplying agricultural inputs for agro-dealers and their customers in Kenya. The Company has a network of warehouses and depots that supply agro-dealers, stockists and remote farming communities with quality agricultural inputs direct from manufacturers. iProcure’s business model and partnerships ensure high-quality products are made available to farmers in a timely and dependable manner.
