​Bundling agricultural and micro-finance services via mobile phone

Rural advisory services often hardly reach remote areas and are costly. Bundling agricultural and financial services through a mobile platform and partnering private and public actors is now a promising approach to reach millions, thus improving agricultural production, increase and stabilise income of smallholder farmers and contributing to increased food security. Agri-Fin Mobile bundles agricultural and micro-finance services via mobile phone in Indonesia, Uganda, and Zimbabwe reaching 180’000 smallholder farmers after the first programme phase, building on a sustainable business model. Funded by SDC, the programme is executed by Mercy Corps. More information: www.agrifinmobile.org
