Agribusiness Strategy and Growth

To modernize Georgia’s agriculture sector, Chemonics partnered with the Georgian Farmers’ Association and Adjara Group to launch Agronavti, a mobile platform that connects farmers to high-value buyers, provides real-time market and agronomic data, and integrates local certification. The platform facilitated $4.6 million in sales, reached over 200,000 users, and introduced AI tools for smarter farming.

Chemonics helped Moldovan agribusinesses grow by modernizing production, diversifying exports, and promoting innovation. Through targeted support, 458 companies increased sales by over $200 million, reached new markets like the EU and Asia, and adopted climate-smart, certified practices. The project also strengthened industry institutions and empowered thousands of women and youth.

In post-conflict Colombia, Chemonics helped expand financial access to more than one million rural clients—nearly half of them women—by supporting banks and financial institutions in developing sustainable, inclusive service models. Through product innovation, digital transformation, and strategic partnerships, the initiative unlocked over $1.4 billion in financial services, introduced gender- and migrant-inclusive policies, and established over 600 banking access points that remained viable beyond project support. These efforts significantly advanced financial inclusion and economic resilience in Colombia’s most underserved regions.

The expansion of the agricultural frontier has led to rapid deforestation in South America. Alongside farmers, the public sector, academia, startups, and civil society organizations, Chemonics is delivering innovative, locally-driven solutions designed to promote the value of standing forests and the adoption of sustainable, low carbon agricultural practices.
