Building Nigeria's first farmer-owned cooperative lending platform
Agroponte exists to democratize agricultural financing in Nigeria. We believe that farmers should own and control their financial destiny, free from exploitation and fraud that has plagued traditional lending.
As a farmer-owned cooperative, every decision is made by farmers, for farmers. We eliminate the middlemen, reduce costs, and ensure that profits flow back to the farming community that generates them.
Our cooperative model isn't just about loans—it's about building a sustainable ecosystem where Nigerian farmers can thrive, innovate, and lead Africa's agricultural transformation.
These principles guide every decision we make and every relationship we build
Every farmer-member has an equal voice in governance. No external investors, no hidden agendas—just farmers making decisions for farmers.
Open books, clear terms, and honest communication. Every member can see how decisions are made and where money flows.
Competitive rates with no hidden fees. Profits are shared among members, not extracted by external shareholders.
Leveraging technology to streamline processes, reduce costs, and provide better service to our farmer-members.
Building stronger farming communities through peer support, knowledge sharing, and collective problem-solving.
Long-term thinking that prioritizes farmer success and environmental sustainability over short-term profits.
