Geospatial intelligence for agricultural credit

Making African agriculture financeable, plot by plot.

Wakama combines satellite imagery, field-surveyed plot geometry and cooperative history to produce credit files that are explainable, verified and monitored over time, for MFIs, banks, insurers and agricultural programs.

02 /The invisible problem

The agricultural file exists. It is just scattered.

The challenge is not only access to agricultural finance. It is also having information reliable enough to assess the risks and follow the operations.

03 /Method

From the field to the decision. Four moves that make agricultural data usable.

Every file follows the same path: observe, verify, analyse, then document and follow. Each step stays visible, from the first satellite image to the file handed to the institution.

Observe

Demo

01Observe

Recognise the plot and its sources

Satellite imagery, a boundary surveyed on site and the available sources are attached to the same plot.

02Verify

Corroborate every declaration

Each declaration is checked against the available evidence. Gaps and missing evidence stay visible.

03Analyse

Compute an explainable score

Positive and negative factors add up in front of the analyst. Uncertain points are flagged for human review.

04Document

Document, then follow

The institutional file is generated with its audit trail, then the plot joins portfolio monitoring.

04 /Wakama Score

From field signal to credit committee. Every point is accounted for.

The engine gathers a farmer’s data, checks it for internal consistency, then computes a score where every contribution is readable, sourced and open to challenge by a credit analyst.

Synthetic file. The illustrative score of 72/100 is an analysis aid: it is neither a default probability nor a credit decision.

Farmer, values and weightings are fictitious and shown for illustration. The actual methodology is documented and shared during the pilot.

Offers

One core engine, three capabilities around it.

Wakama Score is at the heart of the offer. Services / Verify provides the evidence, Monitor follows plots over time, and the insurance vertical observes the exposure of an area.

Wakama Score

Core offer

The explainable analysis of an agricultural file.

A sourced score, consistency checks and the points to confirm, brought together in a file your committee can discuss.

  • Visible, sourced contributions
  • Gaps and uncertainty flagged
  • File ready for internal review

No public pricing: each engagement is scoped to your perimeter after a first conversation.

05 /From satellite to field

One agricultural reality. Multiple intelligence layers.

The same plot is read through several sources. Each brings its own evidence, with its frequency and its limits, and all of them feed the same register.

Collecting

Illustration on fictitious data. IoT sensors and drones are complementary sources, used depending on the mission: they are not deployed on every plot. The vegetation layer is simulated from the visible image.

06 /Wakama Monitor

Credit doesn’t end at disbursement. Every plot stays readable.

After disbursement, Wakama follows every plot in the portfolio: vegetation compared with its historical median, qualified alerts and targeted checks, so the institution can act early.

From plot to portfolio

The checks applied to P-021 extend to the 8 plots of the demo portfolio, 30.4 ha in total.

07 /For institutions

Every organisation reads the field with its own questions.

Wakama Score remains the core of the offer. Around it, each institution receives the views and deliverables suited to its decision.

Underwrite agricultural credit on evidence.

Documented files for the committee, with an explainable score and points to confirm clearly flagged.

09 /Ways to use it

One infrastructure, several ways to use it.

An institution can start with a limited scope, then widen use at its own pace. Each step produces deliverables that are useful without waiting for the next one.

What you receive · 01

An institutional file: explainable score, checks, sourced evidence, points to confirm.

What it takes on your side · 01

The farmer’s information and access to the plots concerned.

To get started · 01

A first file, to judge the quality on real material.

How Wakama connects with your tools (exports, connections, interfaces) is scoped with your teams, according to your needs and technical availability. No integration is required to start.

10 /Trust and methodology

An analysis is only worth something if it can be checked.

Every piece of information keeps its origin, status and date. Limits are flagged rather than hidden, and the decision stays human.

11 /FAQ

What institutions ask us.

Short answers. To go further, our team walks you through the method on your own cases.

  • No. Wakama does not lend and does not decide. We provide analyses, an explainable score and documented files. The credit, insurance or funding decision always belongs to the institution.
