About iProcure
Founded in 2013, iProcure operates an agricultural supply chain platform designed to lower production costs for farmers. The company utilizes proprietary technology to connect major agricultural suppliers with local agro-dealers, facilitating rapid delivery, accurate forecasting, and strategic inventory positioning across its network of distribution centers.
The platform provides agro-dealers with point-of-sale systems and buy-now-pay-later credit options for working capital management. By collecting data throughout the supply chain, the company helps eliminate stock-outs and stabilize price points for over one million commercial smallholder farmers in the East African region.
In April 2024, the company filed for bankruptcy and entered administration due to financial commitments. However, by October 2024, the enterprise reportedly re-acquired its foundational technology in an effort to revitalize its operations and resume its role as a primary agricultural logistics provider.
