No records, no credit
Planting dates, inputs and sales live in memory or a notebook, so lenders lend little or charge a lot.
Agritech made in Zimbabwe, for Africa
YieldBridge Agritech brings farmers farm finance, sensors and data, drone services and expert advice, all connected by one trusted farm record in Purazi, our free farm app.
Why we exist
Farmers feed the continent, yet most still farm without records, field data or fair credit. That costs harvests, money and opportunities, for the farmer and for everyone who wants to support them.
Planting dates, inputs and sales live in memory or a notebook, so lenders lend little or charge a lot.
There is no cheap way to check that a crop was planted, is growing well or was sold.
Soil moisture, crop health and which field makes money are known only when it is too late.
Extension officers serve many farms, and checking a big field for pests on foot takes days.
What we do
Every service feeds the same trusted farm record, so farmers, lenders and programmes see the whole season in one place.
Farmers share their records, with consent, with banks, microfinance lenders, input suppliers and contractors. Lenders see a checked farm history and follow the crop through the season.

A farmer's everyday records in Purazi become a credit history a lender can trust, and the farmer decides who sees it. Lenders check the report against our backup, so they know it was not changed.
| On the report | In backup | |
|---|---|---|
| Money in | $10,424.00 | $10,424.00 |
| Money out | $7,451.00 | $7,451.00 |
Every repaid season builds the record, so the next loan is easier to approve.
Farmers own their data. We never sell farm records. A lender sees a report only when the farmer chooses to share it.
02 · Our flagship app
Purazi is where the farm record starts. It is free on Google Play, works without network on basic Android phones, uses big picture buttons that need little reading, and speaks ChiShona, isiNdebele and English. Purazi is ChiShona for farm.
Crops, animals, fields, store room, equipment and workers, with money in USD or ZiG. Everything saves on the phone first and backs up by itself when network comes back.
Sell produce and animals with in-app chat and calls while phone numbers stay private. Order seed and fertiliser from farm suppliers, and book Agritex officers and vets checked by our team.
Your app is perfect. I am so glad I came across it.
I have been struggling to get all my data in one place, especially on harvesting days, to keep track of records and finances, and whether we are making a profit or not.
03 · 04 · IoT, data and drones
Sensors and drones add what a farmer cannot see from the path: how wet the soil is, how the grain store is holding up and which corner of the field is in trouble. Every reading lands in the same farm record.
We are taking pilot partners for sensors and drones.
Soil moisture, weather and storage sensors send readings to Purazi. Farmers get a reminder when it is time to irrigate, and cooperatives and lenders get dashboards and season analytics across many farms.
A drone flies the field and maps crop health, so the farmer walks straight to the patches that need attention. We also measure fields and spray precisely, and the results are added to the farm record for lenders and insurers.
