Product
Lersha is an agricultural services platform operated by Green Agro Solution PLC in Addis Ababa. Farmers use its digital tools, local agents and call centre to arrange inputs, mechanisation, advisory services and access to markets.
Its financing model connects farmers with banks, insurers, suppliers and crop buyers. Finance can be delivered as inputs and machinery services, with repayment linked to the collection and sale of produce. Combining field agents with digital records helps the service reach farmers who cannot rely on a smartphone application alone.
