Affluent Farmers
Affluent Farmers is an Agribusiness Information Hub, a Private Limited Company Located in Nairobi, Kenya. Affluent Farmers, AF, informs farmers on the most credible, reliable, comprehensive, and up-to-date farming techniques and feasible agribusiness technologies. Since formal inception, AF, has adopted a model that promotes easier and affordable acquisition of agribusiness information by farmers in rural and urban centers.
Many prospects have, in the past and currently, benefited and will continue reaping from the invaluable information that we offer them.
Inspired by the wise words of Dale Carnegie who once said, “Knowledge isn’t power until it is applied.” At AF, we not only share knowledge but also ensure that our farmers can apply it to grow own food and generate income.
Our Agri-tour program ensures farmers can meet their agribusiness model farmers and experts for benchmarking, while promoting the hosts through publicity and marketing.
Background
Affluent Farmers is a Nairobi-based startup company working as an Agribusiness Information Hub.
Affluent Farmers (AF) informally started in 2018. We started as a social media platform aimed at empowering youth and women groups by equipping them with information on modern farming techniques and feasible agribusiness projects.
Over time, we have become a blessing to many farmers through our model of providing credible, reliable, comprehensive, and up-to-date agribusiness information.
We are also strong advocates and ambassadors of environmental conservation and climate change mitigation. Our business is guided by the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals, which enable us to tackle the most serious issues affecting our society through sustainable agriculture.
Our History
Affluent farmers Ltd. was formerly registered in 2020.
Started as a Facebook Page intended to offer farmers the most credible, reliable, comprehensive, and up-to-date agricultural information. The effort was aimed at bridging the agricultural knowledge gap that hindered farmers from achieving their maximum potential.
We dubbed our page Affluent Farmers emphasising that unlike a common perception, mostly associating agriculture with the poor, farming can, actually, be a source of affluence.
Thus, we mainly target the youth who, the society has for a long time, erroneously, made believe that farming is for the elderly. Similarly, we focus on women groups, whom implications of gender disparities and the patriarchal society nature disadvantages, leaving them unemployed, landless, and incapable of fending their families.
Affluent Farmers, therefore, intended to come up with a solution to the problems facing the youth and women groups, mainly through creating awareness on the importance of adopting modern agricultural techniques and feasible agricultural projects.
We, therefore, started as an agriconsultacy company, but took a niche in agribusiness content creation and information dissemination. In this scope, we research on modern and sustainable farming technologies and share information with farmers.
We are problem solvers
Affluent Farmers Ltd. offers solutions by educating, informing, capacity building, and encouraging farmers faced with challenges of scarce information regarding diverse projects they would wish to start.
While we focus on any modern and feasible agribusiness programs, we are more oriented towards relatively affordable projects. Projects that require low starting capital on a small scale, relatively small spaces/ land, workable in rural and urban areas including indoors, have unmet market demands, among other factors that make them viable for ambitious small scale farmers.
As we expand, our objectives remain to continue sharing comprehensive agricultural information to all without limit or holding it back. At AF we believe that information is power, and that with genuine agribusiness information, we can grow a sustainable society that is food secure, healthy, and that enjoys a considerable standard of living.
Our content is free in our website and all our social media sites.
We share our knowledge free of charge to all our audience, through our social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. This is in addition to modern farming guidelines, news, trends, and insights on our website.
