Farmer-centric digital public infrastructure for national agriculture
Cropin Agri-stack is a farmer-centric Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) built at national scale to digitize agriculture. It is designed to be multilingual and easy to use, making it accessible to farmers across different regions. The platform enables fast and efficient delivery of services and agricultural schemes directly to farmers.
With Agri-stack, Cropin envisions to reshape the national agri-food systems by bringing together a complete range of information in one place, including weather updates, soil health data, market prices, and expert advisories. This approach not only helps farmers make better decisions but also strengthens collaboration between governments, industry, and the farming community. By acting as a common digital platform, Cropin Agri-stack supports more informed, inclusive, and data-driven agriculture across the country.
Cropin Agristack in Mexico, with the government and FIRA
Cropin Agristack is helping modernize agriculture in Mexico through a partnership with the Government and the state-owned development bank FIRA. Despite contributing 4% to GDP and employing 6.4 million people, Mexican agriculture lags technologically by 12–14 years.
Smallholder farmers face limited access to finance, technical know-how, and market insights, and these challenges are worsened by climate change. Cropin’s collaboration with FIRA, powered by Global Hits’ subscription-based Single Sign On (SSO) model, shows how our Agristack, as a Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), is driving large-scale change with timely updates and alerts across six platforms.
What startups, farmers and governments gain
Farming productivity
Farmers make informed decisions to improve productivity, increase income, and improve overall profitability.
Food security
These collective benefits strengthen national agri-systems and contribute directly to long-term food security.
Data visibility
Governments can access high-quality data to track agri-food production patterns, analyze trends, and explore development opportunities.
Policy effectiveness
Policymakers can implement effective strategies for targeted subsidies, efficient resource allocation, and timely disasters relief.
Financial access
Banks and other financial institutions use the data to offer secure loans and crop insurance to farmers.
The FIRA partnership gives Mexico a national view of its farmland
Cropin’s implementation will give the Mexican Government unprecedented visibility into its agricultural landscape.
Digitized farmland and farmer data at a national scale support informed policymaking, better food security strategies, and optimized resource planning, including subsidy allocations and targeted interventions for climate resilience. The platform also streamlines information flow to farmers, fosters collaboration across stakeholders, and promotes financial inclusion and modern farming,
helping improve livelihoods and bridge the digital divide.
Smallholder Farmers in Mexico will experience tangible benefits through technology enablement. Access to real-time weather intelligence, alerts, and tailored agricultural advisories will help them make data-driven decisions that will mitigate risks. This will result in optimized resource utilization, increased productivity, and enhanced resilience to climate change, ultimately improving their livelihoods.

How does Cropin Agristack support financial inclusion?
Cropin Agristack supports financial inclusion by providing a digital footprint of smallholder farmers and their farms. This addresses a major problem: farmers’ limited access to credit from formal banks, which prevents them from investing in seasonal inputs. The digital data from Agristack helps financial institutions in several ways. For example, it improves their supervision of agricultural credit portfolios, helps them create better products tailored to farmers’ needs, and ultimately allows them to expand financial services to a population that has traditionally been underserved.
Is the platform accessible to smallholder farmers and local languages?
Yes. Cropin Agristack is built to be multilingual and easy to adopt. It is tailored for smallholder farmers, providing localized insights, real-time weather updates, and advisory services in their native language, ensuring inclusivity and ease of use across diverse regions.
