 Farmvocacy, Inc., a corporation incorporated last January 4, 2022, is a Mindoro Island based social climate fintech startup that helps decarbonize rice farming while enabling smallholder farmers to secure loans with their grain harvest.

 We educate Filipino smallholder rice farmers on the benefits of shifting from a conventional,
chemical farming system to a climate-smart, environment-friendly and sustainable farming system
We also teach and demonstrate to them a system that increases yield, reduces production cost,
and ultimately increases their profit. 

 We load up our grower partners with certified organic farm inputs such as fertilizer and insect repellent, and teach them cultural management practices that not only increases the yield, but also result to safe, high quality farm produce. 

 We connect our grower partners to consumers who want to provide high quality, safe, farm-produced food to their family, all while supporting the advocacy of uplifting the lives of Filipino smallholder farmers. 

 The sad reality is, there are still 3 million Filipino farming household living in extreme poverty. In fact, before they even plant a single seed, they are already
in debt. These farmers rely on high interest loans from traders, their current farming system produces low yield, and lastly they have no direct access to market. All these result to farmers’ daily income of only P125/day.

Farmvocacy runs an inclusive sustainable business model that provides growers with training on climate-smart, environment-friendly and high-yielding
farming system. With the increase in yield and Farmvocacy's e-commerce platform, our grower partners are now able to have access to guaranteed
market who buys their produce at a fair price thereby increasing their income from P125/day to almost P500/day 

 Empower Filipino smallholder farmers to live a dignified life, where they are proud of the feeding the nation with healthy & sustainable food today and for
future generations 

  Partner with Filipino smallholder farmers in an inclusive food value chain
business model that promotes the use of sustainable farming to improve food
quality and profitability 

 Our decision-making process and actions will always be aligned with our
mission of uplifting the smallholder farmers through sustainable agriculture. 

   Our goal is to build a community of Farmvocates who will work together with us in uplifting our beneficiary farmer communities. 

 We strongly encourage the use of certified organic farm inputs, which are
good   for   the   product   and   help   protect   the   environment   for   future
generations. 

 We treat all of our employees, grower partners, customers and investors-with empathy. We understand that we all come from different backgrounds. 

 Our daily actions reflect our core values, as we strive to achieve the greater
good, not only when it is convenient but most especially when it is not. 

 We   believe   in   giving   our   employees,   grower   partners,   customers   and
investors what is rightly due them, without favoritism and discrimination.
