About iFarmer Technologies

iFarmer is a full-stack Agri-tech platform, which adopts an innovative approach to financing smallholder farmers. iFarmer allows farmers to get access to finance from middle income individuals and also from institutions and in return share farm profit with these funders. iFarmer offers a bundle of financing, agriculture inputs, advisory and market access for the farmers.

iFarmer on-boards farmers by working with local input retailers and through its farm facilitators, collecting some essential data about the farm households.

About InfoCorp Technologies

Founded in 2015 with headquarters in Singapore, InfoCorp Technologies brings together FinTech and AgriTech in addressing financial inclusion for smallholder farmers through its blockchain-based technologies.

In most parts of the world, smallholder farmers cannot secure a sustainable livelihood from farming. It is high risk and capital intensive. Most smallholder farmers are unbanked, with no access to affordable working capital and no means to improve their farm income. As 80% of global food supply depends on smallholder farmers, mankind may be facing a serious global food security crisis. Underlying this food and agriculture problem, is a financial problem that can be solved if farmers can unlock their livestock as security for loans.

InfoCorp has created the world’s first blockchain-based solutions designed to address these problems. FarmTrek, a blockchain-based animal identification and traceability technology developed by InfoCorp, combines the use of RFID and blockchain to address traceability at the first mile of the food supply chain and allow farmers to prove their ownership of livestock asset so that it can be used as loan collaterals. Sentinel Chain, a consortium blockchain network developed by InfoCorp, is a business-to-business financial services marketplace designed for offshore investments to enter the local livestock value chain.
