If your farm already works, we want the proof — not a pitch.
Sokan connects credible African agricultural operators with buyers and aligned capital. This is the East Africa desk. If you are already growing, processing, aggregating or selling — tell us what exists, who buys it, and what capital would unlock. We do the rest.
The capital exists. The proof rarely travels with the business.
Across East Africa there are thousands of operators with real land, real output and real customers who never reach an investor — not because the business is weak, but because nothing is written down in the form an investor recognises. This page fixes that first step.
Proof before promotion.
Send this if you
- Operate an existing agricultural business in East Africa
- Have produced, processed or sold in the last 12 months
- Can name the people or companies who buy from you
- Keep some record of money in and money out
- Know what you need capital for, and what it will change
- Can support what you claim with documents or photographs
Not yet, if you
- Have an idea or a business plan but no operations
- Are seeking money to buy land before anything is planted
- Cannot name a single customer or buyer
- Are looking for a grant or donation only
- Cannot show any evidence of what you describe
If you are early, say so honestly in the form. We keep a separate list and come back to operators once they are trading.
Four steps. No fee at any point.
You submit
The form below takes about 15 minutes. Answer what you can; blanks are better than guesses.
We screen
We check the business against the questions investors always ask: is it real, is it operating, who buys from it, do the numbers align, how is risk managed.
We collect evidence
If it holds up, we work with you to assemble the documentation — records, photographs, offtake terms — into something an investor or buyer can read in ten minutes.
We introduce
Credible operators are matched into the Sokan network of buyers, aligned investors and diaspora partners. Submitting does not guarantee an introduction.
We are not looking for a pitch. We are looking for proof that the business already works — then we help you show it.

Fields marked * are required. Everything else helps, but will not stop your submission. Your information is used to screen and, if credible, to introduce you. It is not published anywhere.
