Aside from seeing an investible business from the prism of money and finance, experts have stated that an investible business includes environmental, social, and governance practices (ESG) as well as diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). There are four ways to make agro-businesses investible: i.) build AgroTechs on transparency; ii.) build a strong team around your startup, which helps the agro-businesses and farmers reach peak performances; iii.) have high-profile relationships and quality advisory board within your business space; and iv.) create accessibility products that guarantee recurring profits.

Incorporating FinTech in Agro-Tech can yield more productivity for farmers and stakeholders. There are a lot of ways FinTech can help farmers. For example, farmers can access loans and credits by FinTech services. The FinTech service has been described as flexible compared to traditional banks. Another service FinTech can offer is savings and investments, which can be beneficial to both farmers and stakeholders. Furthermore, FinTech can help farmers in the area of insurance, especially when farming is known to have high-risk capabilities. Therefore, you can incorporate FinTech services into your Agro-Tech platforms where transaction and monitoring can be done.
