The ‘Last Mile’ is rural, remote, with low income and in need of a path to financial inclusion. An integral part of global supply chains and an untapped market with an enormous potential, ‘Last Mile’ communities still lack tools for proof of identity, trustworthy records of sale of produce and access to basic goods and services like credit, education and healthcare.
Learn how we connect farmers to cooperatives, cooperatives to commodity buyers and how we integrate financial and commercial partners, opening the doors to ‘Last Mile’ market opportunities, while nurturing local economies.
It's a win-win.
“All AgUnity products are developed through human-centered design, have off-line capability and incorporate blockchain technology in order to increase trust, data transparency and security”
1 billion people around the world don’t have a legal form of identity. By simply providing a farmer with a viable form of identification, we unlock access to basic services, banking and credit opportunities. For financial service providers, this functionality opens the door to a previously unreachable market of 1.7B potential new clients.
An issue that western societies may not easily relate to but easily the biggest hurdle for low income farming communities. Fortunately, this is overcome using blockchain technology. With immutable and verifiable record keeping, this system replaces paper receipts and verbal agreements and so allows participating users to build a solid foundation of trust.
Once smallholder farmers increase their income, being able to spend it on useful and easily accessible products is challenging in itself. With our Digital Wallet and Online Market functionalities, farmers will benefit from safer transactions and the ability to store earnings without holding cash, save money, buy tools, assets or pay for services like education and healthcare.
While NGOs and development organisations struggle with managing complex data and accessing the real impact of their projects, commodity buyers and traders often lack systems to track and manage products along supply chains with remote legs. The AgUnity platform offers a wide range of adaptability and data power to effectively respond to the challenges faced by each partner.
Developing world farmers do not have the digital skills to engage with existing technologies. AgUnity’s platform and app are designed with a participatory design method and can be used by communities with limited literacy anywhere in the world to connect with buyers and suppliers alike.
When no mobile reception or data is available, users can still conduct transactions. These are stored and cached locally in the system, until the user gets access to the network.

“It has been a pleasure working with AgUnity. AgUnity’s field missions were carried out in way that exemplified human-centered design at its best as the team lived with its users (farmers), designing AgUnity’s solution together."
"It can help me to communicate with other farmers, and what we need to do to cooperate together. I can use this phone to track price per kilo and save much time than walking to the market. This solution would help me a lot."
“Impressed by the strategic vision and nimble agility of the AgUnity team, especially over the last couple of months as they make monumental decisions which we believe will lead to massive social impact & great financial returns.”
