. OUR PROCESS HOW IT WORKS
Working with farmers
Prifarm Agri boasts of a clear-cut but effective farmers selection process which is preceded by a project pre-incubation period of 2-3 months. The company’s farmer’s integration process is as follows:
1. Crop and Land Selection: this involves the identification of crops to be cultivated. The result of this stage depends on certain factors like farming season, availability of land etc.
2. Identifying Farmers: To pick the farmers to work with, Prifarm Agri works with farmers’ association and/or community leaders rather than approaching farmers individually. Prifarm Agri says it does this to “keep things organized.”
3. Provision of Inputs: Prifarm Agri then proceeds to supply farm inputs to selected farmers. Also, the firm provides training and tools in addition to assigning technical field specialists to each farm for assistance and supervision.
Offtake of harvests: This is where Prifarm Agri helps the farmers sell their harvest after the cultivation or breeding period is over. Prifarm Agri does this to ensure that
WORKING WITH SPONSORS

Called the Sponsor’s Integration Process, the following are the stages involved in sponsoring a farm(er) on Prifarm Agri:
1. Registration/Signing up: Before you can get anything done as a (potential) sponsor on Prifarm Agri , you have to be a registered member. you can sign up either through the website or mobile app which is currently available for iOS and Adroid smartphones.
2. Farm Selection: This involves going through the Prishop (as mentioned above) and picking the farm would love to sponsor. When you click on a farm you want to sponsor, the sponsorship/contract period, expected return on investment (in %), harvest period, available units to be sponsored, and pretty much all details you need to know about the farm are made available.
3. Sponsorship: After successfully making payments to sponsor a farm, Prifarm Agri uses your funds to make provisions like farm input, technical support, training, farm and farm produce insurance, marketing assistance and logistics etc.
4. Tracking: Either through the app or web, you can keep track of activities on the farm you sponsored as Prifarm Agri will provide pictorial materials in the form of images, texts, and videos to your dashboard. Interestingly, you can also put in a request to visit the sponsored farm.
5. Harvest and Payment: Upon completion of a successful farming cycle, Prifarm Agri pays sponsors their initial sponsorship (to an electronic wallet on the dashboard) in addition to the return on investment. Sponsors can either choose to transfer their profits to their bank accounts after a successful farming cycle or further reinvest the proceeding in sponsoring another farm.
