DECENTRALISED PROCESSING

Climate-Resilient Agriculture, 100% Traceable

Agri-Sankofa runs processing hubs in Western Kenya. We dry crops with solar driers, convert residue into biochar in a pyrolysis kiln, and record every delivery against its plot.

Our Proprietary Technology

Solar Drying and Processing

Processing close to the farm reduces the distance crops travel before they're dried and cleaned. Our two solar driers and cleaning and sorting line are at our Busia processing hub.

Pyrolysis Kiln

Our kiln converts processing residue, such as cassava peels, corn bran and groundnut hulls, into biochar. Biochar carbon removal is being registered with Puro.earth.

Digital Traceability Stack

Every farmer's plot is GPS-mapped with its own ID. Each delivery is recorded against the plot it came from.

Farmer and Plot Registry

Our registry holds GPS-mapped plots for more than 600 registered cassava farmers. It works offline and syncs when a connection returns.

600+ Farmers registered

The Agri-Sankofa app ensures 100% traceability and works both online and offline

Farmers and field staff use the app to register every farmer with a digital ID and map every plot. Each delivery we collect and each batch of biochar we return is recorded, so every step can be traced. Records made without internet sync automatically once the app reconnects.

Systemic Circularity

The Waste-to-Value Conversion

Our hub turns processing waste into biochar, which goes back to the soil the crops came from.
