Agrilife is a cloud-based technology platform designed to use mobile phone and web platforms to enable groups of smallholder farmers as well as other agriculture value chain actors to access financial services, markets and other services. Agrilife was developed by Mobipay Kenya Limited in 2012 to address the challenge of a smallholder dominated African agriculture sector that is largely excluded from formal agriculture finance and product markets.
Working with groups of smallholder farmers can have both positive and negative consequences, but the Agrilife platform has taken advantage of the group concept for a cost-effective launch.
