In partnership with Tanzania Commercial Bank (TCB), CRDB Bank, and Tigo Pesa, Kilimo Akiba offers farmers a unique opportunity to save money gradually through a dedicated bank account, free from deductions or operating costs.
This service aims to ensure that farmers have sufficient capital when the farming season arrives. With Kilimo Akiba, farmers can deposit any amount into their account starting from 500 Tanzanian Shillings, enabling them to plan their farming activities effectively. The project is currently available in six regions: Songwe, Mbeya, Iringa, Morogoro, Kigoma, and Kahama. Through various convenient methods like bank branches, mobile money services, and KIA agents, farmers can easily deposit their savings, allowing them to access timely and affordable input services, connect with verified markets, and even receive small loans. Kilimo Akiba is not just about saving; it's about empowering farmers and revolutionizing the agricultural sector in Tanzania.
