Mission
AgroFides' mission is to unlock the potential of commercially viable small and medium-scale farmers by turning their cash-based farming operations into creditbased businesses. We accomplish this by helping farmers secure loans through AgroFides, from private and institutional investors (lenders) looking for financial return coupled with social, environmental, and economic impact.
