Ucrop.it is a platform for agriculture firms and financial institutions to connect with farmers on collaborative commodity crop-production plans. Agriculture firms share desired terms of crop production on the platform, whereby farmers select, agree upon, and provide farming input data to ensure crop-production conditions specified by the agriculture firm are met. Financial institutions also access this information to provide a tranche-based approach to working capital loans for farmers, based on evidence that crops are being produced as specified at each crop development cycle stage.
