Unlocking access to finance for smallholder coffee farms through blockchain tokenization
About us
Unlocking access to finance for smallholder coffee farms through blockchain tokenisation. From 1988 to 2021 coffee production in Kenya declined from 128,862 metric tons to 36,873 metric tons, a decline of about 71% over the period due to : - Price Fluctuation and Unreliable Incomes - Low Productivity - Sustainability and Environmental Concerns - Limited Access to Financing - Consolidation and Exploitation - Inefficiencies in Value Chain Management Through tokenisation (Adopting a Tree ), we will enable farmers to fractionalise and share ownership of a tree with investors to access immediate capital for rehabilitation

Project Mocha Brews Up a Partnership with the Nairobi Tech Christmas Mixer! ☕️ We're thrilled to announce that Project Mocha is joining forces with Amplify Africa for the Nairobi Tech Christmas Mixer as a key feature! This exciting collaboration underscores our commitment to fostering innovation and empowering Kenya's agricultural and tech sectors. About Project Mocha Project Mocha is an initiative aimed at empowering smallholder coffee farmers in Kenya by leveraging blockchain technology. The project addresses the major issue of financial exclusion, where farmers, despite being asset-rich, struggle to access capital due to their assets being undocumented and deemed too risky by traditional financial institutions. To address this, Project Mocha uses distributed ledger technology to document and prove ownership of coffee trees, enabling farmers to access on-chain liquidity for farm rehabilitation. Additionally, they track coffee production from the farm to the consumer, ensuring transparency and fair compensation for farmers. Join Us & Celebrate Innovation! Mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate innovation at the heart of Nairobi's thriving tech scene! The Nairobi Tech Christmas Mixer is a night of collaboration, networking, and showcasing impactful projects like Project Mocha.

Ever seen coffee trees in bloom? 🌸 This flowering stage lasts just a few days but plays a vital role in producing the coffee we love. The smell is heavenly, a reminder that coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s an entire life cycle. 🌿☕ #CoffeeLife #BloomToBrew #FromSeedToSip #CoffeeScience #ProjectMocha

Last month, I had the chance to attend ETHSafari, a blockchain conference in Kilifi, Kenya. It was an amazing experience! I was on a panel discussing real-world asset tokenization with some great minds, including those from Project Mocha . The conversations were eye-opening and really showed where blockchain tech is headed. I also got to meet and connect with so many talented developers—looking forward to what comes next from these connections. Excited for the future of blockchain in areas like finance and gaming.

Tokenizing Ownership on the Blockchain Tokenization refers to the process of converting ownership rights or assets into digital tokens on a blockchain. These tokens represent tangible or intangible assets such as real estate, commodities, or even intellectual property. By leveraging blockchain technology, tokenization allows for secure, transparent, and fractional ownership of these assets, making them more accessible to a wider range of investors. Tokenized assets can be traded on decentralized platforms, enabling increased liquidity and efficiency in the market. In Kenya, several innovative projects have embraced tokenization: 1. Project Mocha: This initiative tokenizes ownership of coffee trees, allowing investors to own a share of the profits from coffee production without physically managing the trees. 2. One Million Avocados: A project that tokenizes avocado trees, enabling investors to participate in the lucrative avocado farming industry by owning and benefiting from the yield of individual trees. 3. alphabloQ (Techstars '22): Focused on real estate, this project tokenizes property ownership, making real estate investment more accessible through fractional ownership and allowing investors to trade shares of property on the blockchain. These projects exemplify how tokenization is transforming traditional industries by democratizing access to valuable assets and fostering new investment opportunities. #NFTs #blockchain

We love to highlight #innovations that are maximizing the potential of blockchain, and Project Mocha made the list. So, what’s Project Mocha? It’s an initiative designed to unlock Kenyan coffee farmers' access to #finance by using #blockchaintechnology to tokenize #coffee trees. This aims to improve the livelihoods of farmers by connecting them directly to buyers and investors. The project was inspired by a concerning #statistic of a steady decline in coffee production in #Kenya. As of this year, the country faces a 6.3% decrease in production from the previous marketing year despite the global demand for its high-quality beans. This is where Project Mocha steps in to revolutionize the sector. The initiative has introduced the concept of ‘Adopt a Coffee Tree’. A real-world assets project that represents real-world ownership and allows everyday people like you and me to support #coffeefarmers while sharing in their revenues.
