Value proposition

LishaBora provides inputs and practices, and co-manages outputs for Kenya’s smallholder dairy farmers.

By partnering with dairy traders who use our business management mobile application we enable traders to sell our dairy feeds, offer forage and farming management, and unlock banking and credit solutions. There are over two million smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya spending 1.5 billion USD annually on dairy feeds.

The dairy industry represents 7% of Kenya’s 60 billion USD industry. By digitizing the informal market and conducting bi-weekly payouts to farmers, LishaBora is unlocking banking and credit solution by building credit scores for both smallholders and traders, who make up 70% of the milk sales in Kenya. LishaBora’s target population for our products and services is a smallholder farmer who owns 1-5 cows in Kenya making less than 2.00 USD per day from their cows. Our target population for the dairy trader bookkeeping application is a small dairy trading entrepreneur that collects 10 - 150 farmer’s milk.

LishaBora is the only startup company in Kenya working directly with dairy traders in the informal market, however, our competitors are other feed manufacturers, distributors, and dairy cooperatives.
