Financing Farmers for a Sustainable Future
Degas is dedicated to raising the productivity and income of smallholder farmers globally by leveraging the technology platform.
We provide farmers with high-quality farming inputs and offer specialized training, equipping farmers with tools and knowledge to maximize productivity. Farmers make repayments by delivering a portion of their agricultural outputs and realize additional incomes through the sales of remaining crops.
Operational Excellence Enabled by the Proprietary Technology
Our cutting-edge technology platform is at the core of our operational excellence. To date, we have collected millions of data points across the full value chain by using our proprietary mobile app. We use the data and machine learning techniques to compute farmer credit scores and make data-driven decisions to optimize operations.
Our field staff uses our proprietary app to enroll farmers, distribute inputs, record farm locations, monitor farming activities, and harvest and recover crops. Each bag collected from farmers filled with crops has a QR code containing all the relevant information, enabling us to offer unparalleled end-to-end traceability across the value chain.
Degas agents use the proprietary app to register, distribute, monitor and map every single action
With this technical and operational excellence, Farmer Financing grew rapidly and achieved high performance more than doubling in scale every year.
Degas is redefining industry standards through its technological capability and the use of on-the-ground data and satellite imagery. Using machine learning techniques, we monitor and predict crop yields and detect and predict floods, droughts, and wildfires.
