Key Findings
- 1Only three Kenyan agritech platforms have published independently audited yield uplift data. The numbers show a real but narrower impact than pitch decks claim.
Overview
Only three Kenyan agritech platforms have published independently audited on-farm yield data since 2023: Apollo Agriculture, One Acre Fund, and DigiFarm (Safaricom). Together they cover an audited farmer base of 1.9m smallholders (Apollo, One Acre Fund, and Safaricom FY2025 annual reports and impact disclosures). Everything else in the Kenyan agritech narrative — the $482m in cumulative funding tracked by Disrupt Africa's *African Tech Startups Funding Report 2025* — rests on self-reported metrics.

Why this matters now
Kenya is the most-funded agritech market in Africa and the continent's default reference case. If the audited yield data does not match the marketing, every regional agritech investment thesis built on the Kenya benchmark is mispriced.
