Shamba Pride

Shamba Pride is a Kenyan agri-tech startup that operates a one-stop online-to-offline platform connecting smallholder farmers to quality agricultural inputs, services, and information through a franchised network of technology-enabled DigiShops. The company digitizes informal agro-dealers, transforming them into professional franchise partners who can offer drought-resistant seeds, organic fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation systems, and climate-smart farming training. With over 70,000 active farmers and 4,500 agri-retailers on its commerce platform across 20 counties, Shamba Pride addresses supply chain transparency and last-mile access challenges that hinder agricultural productivity in rural Africa. Founded in 2016, the company has raised $3.7M in pre-Series A funding to scale its DigiShop network and expand climate-smart agriculture programs.
