Overview

Many smallholder farmers in Nepal face not only climate-related challenges but also additional legal obstacles when it comes to fragmented supply chains and limited digital literacy. On top of that, the process of getting a loan is a complex and bureaucratic one. As a result, many of them depend on informal lenders, struggle to invest in quality seeds, fertilizers and equipment, and cannot reliably access fair markets.

DV Excellus’ Kheti.farm platform provides these smallholder farmers with a one-stop digital agriculture platform that connects them with financial institutions, input suppliers as well as agricultural experts and buyers. Farmers are provided with both, the means to get high-quality inputs, through digital loans such as Kheti Karja, but also an integrated marketplace to sell their harvest on. They can also access climate smart advisory services, all in a single system.
