Farm to Feed Kenya Gets €150,000 Proparco Investment

In Short

Proparco has invested €150,000 in Farm to Feed, a Kenyan agritech startup working to reduce post-harvest food losses.

What Happened

Farm to Feed Kenya, listed on Liners as Farm To Feed Kenya, received a €150,000 investment from French development finance institution Proparco.

Farm to Feed was founded in 2021. It connects smallholder farmers with buyers, and also coordinates sourcing, demand forecasting (predicting what customers will need), logistics, warehousing, sales, and payments.

The company says it has more than 5,500 registered farmers and over 160 business customers. These customers include hotels, hospitals, schools, food processors, and institutional feeding programmes.

Proparco says Farm to Feed has grown more than 100% year on year for three straight years. Farm to Feed’s 2025 impact report also claims an 81% reduction in food loss among participating farms, and higher farmer incomes, but these numbers are company-reported.

The new funding follows Farm to Feed’s $1.5 million seed round announced in 2025. That earlier raise included $1.27 million in equity led by Delta40 Venture Studio, plus $230,000 in non-dilutive funding, meaning capital that does not take startup ownership, from DEG’s DeveloPPP Ventures programme.

Proparco said the €150,000 will support upgrades to Farm to Feed’s technology and operations, and help expand its farmer network and value-added lines like “Grade Rescue” and “Ready to Use”. The startup is also expanding beyond Nairobi into other parts of Kenya.

Why It Matters

Post-harvest food loss is a major problem in African agriculture. Proparco estimates that about half of fruits and vegetables produced in sub-Saharan Africa are lost before reaching the market.

For agritech marketplaces and supply chain platforms, better demand planning, storage, and distribution can mean more produce sold, steadier income for farmers, and more reliable supply for institutional buyers.

The deal also qualifies under the 2X investment framework, which backs businesses founded or led by women. That matters because women-led startups in Africa still receive a smaller share of venture and growth capital.
