Apollo Agriculture assists small-scale African farmers in increasing their profits by providing access to financing, high-quality farm inputs, insurance, and tailored advice.

Smallholder farmers face challenges in accessing specialized financing, which limits their ability to diversify into more expensive, climate-resilient crops or afford essential inputs like pesticides. Apollo Agriculture addresses this issue by empowering these farmers to increase profits and farm sustainably.
Utilizing machine learning-driven credit models and automated technology, Apollo provides a comprehensive package that includes high-quality crops, optimized financing, expert digital advice, training, market access, and insurance. This package is offered as a loan, allowing farmers to purchase necessary inputs at the start of the year and begin repayment only after harvest. By combining financing with support for sustainable farming practices, Apollo unlocks the vast potential of the smallholder farming market, enabling farmers to invest in and scale their businesses effectively.
