Nagro

Series A in 2023
Nagro is a fintech platform that connects farmers in Brazil to various credit sources, addressing the challenges they face in obtaining financing for agribusiness. The Brazilian agricultural sector relies heavily on credit, primarily from government sources, which are currently experiencing significant challenges. Farmers often encounter delays in credit approval, with only 70% of applications being fulfilled, and these processes can take over six months, hindering timely production. Nagro streamlines this process by using machine learning and data analysis to match farmers with suitable credit options based on their specific needs and circumstances. Their infrastructure allows for an intuitive registration process, gathering relevant information about farmers and their activities. Additionally, Nagro offers customized credit analyses and business information reports to credit sources, enhancing decision-making and improving satisfaction for both farmers and lenders. By simplifying and accelerating the agribusiness credit process, Nagro provides a viable alternative to the bureaucratic hurdles often associated with government financing.
