Future Startup Explainer: What is iFarmer and How it Works
The big idea: iFarmer is a Dhaka-based agri-tech platform that connects farmers with access to finance, training, knowledge, and market. On the other side, the company enables individuals to invest their money in a farm (equity financing model). The company offers both regular and sharia-compliant investment options. The company then works closely with these farmers and enables them to sell to a large buyer effectively eliminating middlemen. iFarmer was originally started as a side project in 2018 as an Uber for Urban Farming. The idea did not fly and the founders eventually pivoted to its current model.
