We’re Apollo Agriculture
Cultivating greater returns for farmers
Apollo provides the financing for best-in-market farm inputs.
Apollo farmers typically produce 2.5x more than the average Kenyan farmer.
At Apollo, our goal is to bring commercial farming to everyone. That means providing farmers the financing they need so they can buy better products, increase their harvest, and turn their subsistence farming into commercial farming.
We’re redefining investment opportunities for farmers.
We empower farmers, turning their farms into successful businesses and gateways to the middle class.
Eli Pollak - CEO
How does it work?
Farmers can buy inputs with Apollo in cash or credit.
If the farmer is purchasing their items on credit, they apply for financing and get an instant credit decision - powered by Apollo’s machine learning credit models.
The farmer then chooses the products they need from Apollo’s digital store, and picks them up at the agrodealer in their nearest village. We partner with +1000 agrodealers to ensure maximum proximity to our farmers.
All farmers receive best-in-class agricultural training. Farmers who purchase on credit receive insurance to protect their investment from unexpected circumstances.
About Apollo

Today, Apollo has received funding from top VCs and financial institutions. We have offices in three countries, and team members in 11 countries.
We’re growing our team and operations rapidly, to ensure we can service as many farmers as possible.
