WHAT

agCelerant transforms and secures contractual agriculture through the intelligent targeting and activation, inside smallholder value chains, of phygital ecosystems that monitor smallholder fields in real time, innovate in rural job markets, and orchestrate value creation to transform the global food chain.

WHY

Because transforming smallholder agriculture is not only a farm-level problem. Because risk aversion in bankers has far-reaching consequences. Because basic knowledge and structure lack in smallholder value chains, preventing investment, stunting growth. Because farming can be a choice, a profession, a passion.

HOW

agCelerant encapsulates the concept of ‘phygital agriculture’, the combination of physical asset management with digital solutions to ensure trust and scalability of service. It unlocks primary bank and industrial investments for smallholder markets, ensuring final product quality, value and returns to SHFs and other agricultural stakeholders.
