About Agro747
Making Nigerian smallholder farming bankable
Agro747 connects smallholder farmers to the inputs, credit and buyers they need, and records every step so lenders and buyers can trust it.
Why we exist
The problem is not the farmer
Agriculture is about a quarter of Nigeria's economy, yet it receives only around five per cent of bank lending. Most smallholders farm without credit, without genuine inputs and without knowing who will buy their harvest.
Lenders stay away because they cannot verify who a farmer is, where the farm is, or whether a loan will be repaid. Buyers import because local supply is uneven in volume and quality.
We believe the missing piece is coordination: a trusted record that links each farmer to a buyer, to a lender and to the inputs that raise yields. That is what Agro747 builds.

What we stand for
Farmers first
Fair weights, fair prices, clear terms in the farmer's own language, and fast payment.
Verified, not claimed
Every farmer, plot, voucher and payment is checked and recorded. We publish numbers only when they can be audited.
Engineered to last
We design systems that work without depending on any single programme, policy or person.
Value stays in Nigeria
Over time we aim to store, trade and process closer to the farm, so more of the value of each harvest stays local.
