Investing in smallholder value chains involves complex decisions, from evaluating return on investment and farmer impact to navigating risks in different geographies, commodity types, and smallholder engagement designs. The FarmFit Insights Hub is designed to simplify these decisions.

The Insights Hub is a global digital platform that offers data and insights to facilitate better and more investments in smallholder-inclusive business models.

Our approach on the Hub involves a semi-standardized method of data collection and analysis. In this first release, we have analysed over 120 business models through our inclusive business model methodology. Additionally, we have gathered data from more than 12,000 farmers via standardized surveys and compiled a substantial volume of qualitative data aligned with our learning framework.

This methodology enables us to effectively compare different business models, providing clear insights into which models are successful and in what contexts. The FarmFit Insights Hub is thus a valuable resource for investors and stakeholders seeking to make informed, impactful decisions in smallholder agriculture.
