About the target
VunaPay Solutions Limited (VunaPay) is a Kenya-based agri-fintech company specialising in produce management and instant payment solutions for smallholder farmers. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Nairobi, the company partners with agricultural cooperative societies to digitise produce collection, farmer records, inventory management, and payouts. Its platform enables eligible cooperative members to access a portion of expected seasonal earnings in advance through USSD, mobile money, or bank account disbursement, with settlement recovered from cooperative proceeds at the end of the season. VunaPay also provides data-driven soil testing through Rhea and uses analytics, secure API integrations, and transaction records to support cooperative operations.
