The company says it has already reached more than 10,000 farmers and aims to expand its services to five million across Africa.

Its platform offers digital agricultural advisory services, a digital agronomist, field mapping and digital farm profiles. These tools are designed to provide farmers with reliable information about their land and farming activities while giving financial institutions and insurers a clearer picture of the farmers they serve.

"Farmers feed our communities, yet many cannot easily show what they grow or how well they grow it, so financial institutions struggle to serve them," said Victor Onyekachukwu, Co-Founder of Crop Cura.

"Rwanda's commitment to modernising agriculture and its digital ambition make it a natural next step. We want to build here, with Rwandan partners, and learn from the farmers we serve."

Smallholder farmers play a central role in Rwanda's food system, but limited access to timely agricultural advice and formal records can constrain productivity and make it difficult to secure loans or insurance.

Through its platform, Crop Cura plans to create digital farm profiles and field maps, provide tailored advisory support and make verified farm information available to financial institutions and insurers to inform their lending and insurance decisions.

For farmers, the digital profiles are intended to provide advice suited to their land and a documented record of their farming activities when seeking credit or insurance. Financial institutions, cooperatives and insurers, meanwhile, can use the information, collected with farmers' consent, to inform their assessments.

"Good data protects farmers as much as it helps lenders," Onyekachukwu added. "We handle farmers' information with care, with their consent, and in line with the law."

Crop Cura Rwanda Limited is registered with the Rwanda Development Board and is seeking partnerships with cooperatives, financial institutions, insurers, agribusinesses, universities and government agencies.
