About agriBORA

agriBORA is an agri-fintech company driving the digital and structural transformation of East Africa's grain trade. Headquartered in Kenya, agriBORA leverages technology, data, and localized infrastructure to de-risk smallholder agriculture and create efficient, transparent markets. Through its integrated platform, the company bridges the gap between smallholder farmers, cooperatives, financial institutions, and large-scale buyers — helping farmers access certified storage, affordable credit, and direct market linkages. By digitizing post-harvest processes and introducing structured grain trading systems, agriBORA enables farmers to store, finance, and sell their produce profitably and sustainably.

Building on its flagship solution,
agriGHALA

, agriBORA combines warehouse receipt financing, market intelligence, and climate-smart services to reduce post-harvest losses, enhance liquidity, and stabilize farmer incomes. The company works closely with cooperatives, county governments, and private sector partners to expand access to structured markets and financing for rural producers. agriBORA's long-term vision is to establish the climate-resilient backbone of East Africa's grain economy — empowering farmers, strengthening food systems, and unlocking inclusive agricultural growth at scale.
