Cairo - Sharikat Mubasher: Egyptian agri-fintech company, AgriCash, closed a pre-seed funding round to bolster financial inclusion and drive digital transformation in the agricultural sector.

The new capital will help AgriCash elevate its operations in Egypt, expand into new regional markets, and accelerate the implementation of its technology roadmap, especially the development of AI-based support tools designed to improve farmers’ productivity.

AgriCash aims to solve the chronic funding gap faced by millions of smallholder farmers in Egypt. It offers an interest-free Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) model, enabling farmers to obtain agricultural inputs and repay after harvest without incurring any interest or debt.
