Inclusive Contract Farming + Village Savings, Powered by Digitized Quality
We aggregate African leafy vegetables (ALVs) from smallholder farmers—especially women and youth—and deliver reliable, traceable supply to retailers.
The problem
- ALV value chains are fragmented from seed to sale—limited visibility, preventable loss, and inconsistent quality.
- Food safety standards are hard to maintain across dispersed smallholders..
- Small producers and micro-retailers struggle to access working capital due to thin files and perceived risk.
Arianda Farms Africa Limited collaborates with local farmers to ensure the sustainable and safe cultivation of vegetables. Our focus lies in enhancing the expertise of farmers through a comprehensive training program designed to meet market demand, overseen by certified professionals. Lead farmers are responsible for transporting the harvests to designated collection points. We maintain operational efficiency by implementing a sophisticated system for crop planning and monitoring the produce throughout the entire cultivation process, thereby upholding rigorous standards of quality and safety.
Our model
A social and tech-enabled platform for inclusive contract farming (iCF) in African leafy vegetables
We aggregate African leafy vegetables (ALVs) from smallholders—especially women and youth—and digitize every step of the value chain, from crop planning to retail. By embedding savings groups within our farmer and retailer networks, we foster financial discipline, group cohesion, and investment readiness.
