Case Study: One Acre Fund achieves first-mile traceability and faster farmer payments with FieldPro

One Acre Fund digitizes 300+ farmers and 2,000+ field users with FieldPro

One Acre Fund, a non-profit supporting smallholder farmers in East Africa, faced challenges in obtaining Global GAP certification for its avocado farmers and managing the complex sourcing process, which included field scouting, collections, and instant payments. To ensure compliance and digitize these field operations for over 300 farmers, they partnered with vendor FieldPro to use its FieldPro Agri Sourcing service.

FieldPro implemented a customized digital solution featuring multiple workflows for training, inspection, risk assessment, and scouting. A key component was an automated purchase and payment system integrated with Beyonic for instant mobile money payments to farmers. The results for One Acre Fund were significant, achieving over 2,000 active field users, digitizing over 300 farmers, and deploying 5+ custom workflows to 35 users in Kenya, which enabled efficient sourcing and progress toward certification goals.
