Smallholder AgriTech Business Models

Government, NGO, and business leaders typically see great promise for digital tools to empower smallholder value chains and make them more efficient and profitable for farmers.

However, hope is not enough - new technologies only reach scale when they are delivered within a functioning business model. That said, finding a business model that is financially viable when your customer-base contains growers on small, remote farms is tricky.

By observing the full range of solutions that have been developed across the ASEAN region, we see startups migrating to five business models which seem to show the greatest potential in reaching smallholder farmers at scale.

In the third session of the Grow Asia Digital Learning Series in 2020, we will:

• Provide an overview of these five business models; and

• Present a startup showcase - one startup to represent each model - to learn more about each startup’s journey in relation to the business model they have employed.
