Empowering Farmers. Decarbonizing Rice Farming. Driving Inclusive Finance.
Farmvocacy helps smallholder farmers secure loans with their grain harvest while reducing emissions in rice farming.
Our Story
Originally founded as an organic fertilizer distributor, we quickly realized that sustainable farming requires more than just high-quality inputs. To truly increase farmer income, we evolved into a climate-fintech enterprise, focusing on holistic solutions that address the pressing challenges of rural agriculture.
How We Help Farmers
Train
We equip farmers with the knowledge and tools to grow more, earn more, and emit less.
Beyond training farmers in high‑yielding, sustainable, and environmentally friendly methods of cultivating rice and corn, we also collaborate with other startups under the Rice Methane Reduction Carbon Project. Through this partnership, we help farmers adopt practices that cut carbon emissions while creating new income streams from carbon credits. This ensures that our growers not only improve productivity but also benefit financially from climate‑smart farming.
Loan
Farmvocacy connects smallholder farmers directly with partner financial institutions, giving them access to affordable loans without falling into debt traps. Instead of relying on high‑interest traders, farmers can use their grain harvest as collateral. This means:
Secure Financing: Farmers unlock credit by pledging their stored rice or corn.
Trusted Partners: Banks carry the credit risk, ensuring safe and transparent transactions.
Fair Terms: Loans are more affordable, helping farmers avoid exploitative lending.
Better Outcomes: With financing in place, farmers can wait for fair market prices, invest in climate‑smart practices, and increase their income.
Connect
We link farmers directly to markets and partners who champion sustainability and fairness.
We connect our grower partners with institutional buyers seeking high‑quality, safe, farm‑produced food, and bring these products to consumers who value responsible sourcing. At the same time, we advance our advocacy of uplifting the lives of Filipino smallholder farmers—ensuring they gain both opportunity and dignity in the food value chain.
