Empowering Farmers in Kenya
Scalable digital solutions advancing climate-smart agriculture, financial inclusion, and technology-enabled livelihoods for underserved communities across Kenya
Ke Devries Company Limited is a Kenyan innovation-driven enterprise focused on advancing climate-smart agriculture, digital financial inclusion, rural enterprise development, and technology-enabled livelihood systems for underserved communities. The company works at the intersection of agriculture, financial technology, climate resilience, and inclusive digital transformation with a strong commitment to empowering smallholder farmers, youth, women, and persons with disabilities (PWDs).
The organization is developing scalable digital solutions that address structural barriers affecting rural agricultural systems, particularly limited access to finance, weak market systems, low adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices, poor access to agronomic knowledge, and fragmented agricultural value chains.
Ke Devries Company Limited envisions a digitally empowered agricultural ecosystem where underserved farming communities can access affordable financial services, quality agricultural inputs, climate-smart advisory systems, market opportunities, and digital agricultural infrastructure regardless of their geographic location or socio-economic status.
Climate-Smart Youth Financial Inclusion, Input Access, Agronomic Skills Development and Marketing Platform
This flagship initiative is designed to strengthen resilience, productivity, and financial inclusion among smallholder farmers in Homa Bay County and beyond. The project aligns with the Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) Stage 1 Pilot funding framework by testing a scalable and evidence-driven digital solution capable of addressing systemic agricultural and financial inclusion challenges at scale.
The innovation combines digital financial services, AI-supported farmer profiling, climate-smart agricultural advisory systems, alternative farmer credit scoring, market linkage support, and inclusive digital delivery mechanisms into one integrated ecosystem.
Expanding financial inclusion for rural youth and smallholder farmers through accessible digital financial tools, alternative credit scoring, and mobile money integration.
Data-driven farmer profiling to personalize services, improve credit decisions, and deliver targeted agricultural and financial support.
Digital advisory systems promoting climate-resilient farming practices, agronomic skills development, and improved access to climate-smart agricultural inputs.
Connecting underserved farming populations to market opportunities and strengthening participation across fragmented agricultural value chains.
The platform is intentionally designed to support both smartphone and feature-phone users through mobile applications, web-based systems, USSD interfaces, and SMS-based communication channels in order to ensure broad accessibility across rural and digitally underserved communities.

Improve financial inclusion for rural youth and smallholder farmers
Improve access to climate-smart agricultural inputs
Increase adoption of climate-resilient farming practices
Expand access to agronomic skills development through a digital agricultural service delivery platform
Integrate and improve market linkage opportunities for underserved farming populations
The initiative recognizes that climate vulnerability, financial exclusion, and weak market participation are deeply interconnected challenges requiring integrated and scalable solutions rather than isolated interventions.
In addition to directly serving individual farmers, the platform will onboard local SACCOs as institutional partners and equip them with modern FinTech infrastructure to digitize member onboarding, automate savings and loan tracking, improve agricultural credit scoring, integrate mobile money systems, and strengthen climate-smart agricultural financing.
Deliberate prioritization of youth, women, farmer groups, cooperatives, and persons with disabilities across all programme activities.
Combining climate resilience, financial inclusion, agricultural commerce, and rural digital infrastructure into one scalable ecosystem.
Contributing toward a more inclusive, resilient, data-driven, and commercially sustainable agricultural economy in Kenya and the wider East African region.
The pilot project will initially target 5,000 smallholder farmers in Homa Bay County with deliberate prioritization of youth, women, farmer groups, cooperatives, and persons with disabilities. Through phased implementation and evidence generation, the project seeks to establish a scalable model capable of supporting broader replication across Kenya.
By combining climate resilience, financial inclusion, agricultural commerce, and rural digital infrastructure into one scalable ecosystem, Ke Devries Company Limited aims to contribute toward a more inclusive, resilient, data-driven, and commercially sustainable agricultural economy in Kenya and the wider East African region.
