Mission
Enable institutions to finance more farmers without building the entire field, data and monitoring infrastructure themselves.
COMPANY
Wakama Edge Ventures, from field execution to institutional agricultural finance.
Founded by Marouane Jebbar, Wakama connects farmers, cooperatives, field data and financial institutions across Côte d’Ivoire, UEMOA and Africa to make agricultural portfolios readable, monitored and auditable.
We do not replace the credit committee. We provide the evidence it needs to decide.
Our mission: make agriculture readable for finance.
Agricultural credit does not only lack capital. It often lacks reliable data, field evidence, operational monitoring and files that can stand before a credit committee.
Vision
Become the trust layer between West African agricultural realities and the institutions that finance, insure or support their growth.

Trust is built before the dashboard.
Our tools only matter if they reflect farmers’ reality. That is why Wakama works with cooperatives, local relays and agricultural communities before turning data into scores, reports or dashboards.
Listen to farmers and understand agricultural cycles
Structure scattered cooperative information
Prepare files institutions can actually use
Make financial inclusion measurable, not only declarative
Field execution remains the starting point of Wakama’s credibility.
The field is our first source of truth.
Cooperative meetings, onboarding sessions, demonstrations, local agreements and farmer discussions: Wakama builds its data where agricultural risk is actually understood.
