Innovation for Smallholder
Farmers in Latin America
Connecting Farmers and Consumers through Digital Markets
Company Background
SiembraCo is a Colombian agtech company transforming how small and medium-scale farmers access markets. Through its flagship platform, Siembra Virtual, the company enables consumers to pre-purchase harvests from local farmers — improving producers’ cash flow while promoting climate-smart agriculture. By combining blockchain traceability, coordinated logistics, and technical support, SiembraCo helps farmers operate more efficiently and sustainably.
Our Product
Siembra Virtual links farmers directly to customers and provides tools for managing the entire cultivation cycle. Farmers receive continuous agronomic support via mobile app and digital platforms, while buyers benefit from traceable, high-quality produce.
With support from Incofin Foundation, the platform is being enhanced to:
- Integrate AI tools to improve farmer engagement
- Pilot real-time satellite monitoring of cultivation activities
- Upgrade the customer interface for better user experience
- Launch new marketing campaigns to expand reach
The initiative aims to grow SiembraCo’s reach to 4,500 farmers, with 2,500 new producers benefiting from the improved platform.
What Our Users Say
"Before we began using the application offered to us by SiembraCo, SiembrAi, we would detect an anomaly in the plant and between the time we called the technician and he had time to come to the farm, one or two weeks might have elapsed. This could lead to a delay in the recovery of the plant [and loss of crops due to pests and disease]. Now, with the application, we submit a question and in 30 seconds we already have an answer. This enables us to better control the problem in the crop."
—Miguel Huertas, tomato farmer, Colombia
