Zarkhez-e analisi dell'app per 28 dicembre

The objective of Zarkhez-e is to implement a tech-enabled, fully digital financing ecosystem that enables subsistence farmers across Pakistan to access short-term, uncollateralized crop input financing in a structured, transparent, and accountable manner. Through a farmer-facing mobile application the initiative aims to: • Digitally empower smallholder farmers by providing them a single-window platform to apply for and track agricultural financing without needing to visit physical bank branches. • Reduce loan diversion and dependency on middlemen by disbursing loans digitally and tying them to a verified network of agri-input merchants. Ultimately, Zarkhez-e aims to enhance agricultural productivity, reduce rural financial exclusion, and uplift the livelihoods of Pakistan’s most vulnerable farming communities using modern digital tools and a data-driven implementation approach.
