Agritech firm Arya.ag, which provides financial support to small farmers who cultivate less than 5 acres of land, has more than doubled its loan disbursals in FY 23 to Rs 1015.76 crore through its fintech platform – Aryadhan. More than 98% of all loans on Arya.ag are disbursed digitally, and the company says that the portfolio remains near-zero NPAs.
Arya.ag also provides loans to Farmer Producer Organisations, Arya Mitr, with a Line of Credit to make quick and hassle-free payments to their farmers and input suppliers for any transactions. Arya. ag’s technology stack built on IoT, analytics, AI, and ML, enables minimal transaction costs and an expedited turnaround time (TAT) for loan disbursements, making it a valuable offering for smallholders and FPOs (Farmer Producer Organizations) who can fend off all distress and maximise the value of each grain.
The core of Arya. ag’s strategy lies in digitizing stored produce into an electronic balance that can be stored, offered as security for a loan, or sold at the click of a button. Borrowers can then avail of a loan on their produce without the need to sell it to generate cash flows with Arya. ag’s first-of-its-kind single-click agri loan, Insta-Loan. Seamless facilitation of credit also helps de-link farmers from non-institutional sources where they are compelled to borrow at steep interest rates.
Mr. Anand Chandra, Co-Founder, Arya.ag says, “Our objective to attain cohesiveness between agricultural value chains, cutting-edge finance and technology to create a highly scalable offering continues to be our driving force. Our growth and profitability have further motivated us to reimagine the ecosystem. This milestone is a recognition of our efforts to further the financial inclusion of farmers into the formal economy.”
