Millions of smallholder farmers in Bangladesh lack access to resources that can help them prosper. iFarmer provides smallholders access to finance, inputs, and markets in one tech platform. The platform connects farmers to commercial lenders. They partner with companies to sell high-quality inputs to farmers, while iFarmer agents provide advisory. Finally, the platform also connects farmers to buyers directly.
