What you get

Lend to poultry farms with your eyes open.

See every financed flock

Health, heat, water and losses for each farm you’ve funded, without waiting for a field report.

Early warning on loan risk

Know when a farm starts to slip, with losses ahead of plan, water falling or long power cuts, weeks before a missed payment.

Help before default

Send a field officer or a vet while the flock can still be saved, and protect both the farmer and the loan.

A track record farmers can borrow on

A sealed history of how each farm performs helps good farmers without collateral show they’re worth lending to.

Grow your agri book safely

Lend to more poultry farms with the visibility you’d expect for any other asset.

Consent built in

Farmers agree in writing to share their farm’s data with you, and can see exactly what is shared.

How it works

Your farms report in. You see every loan’s health.

Security and trust

How Nche keeps every record honest.

A farm record only helps a bank or an insurer if nobody could have changed it. This is how Nche is being built so they don’t have to take anyone’s word for it.

Sealed by this box’s chip

Anyone with the box’s public key can run this check (a bank, an insurer or an auditor) without having to trust Nche.

In the pilot build

Sealed at the source

Every reading is signed inside a secure chip in the box. The signing key is made in the chip and can’t be copied out, not even by Nche.

In the pilot build

Locked on the way

Readings travel to Nche over an encrypted connection, so nobody in between can read or change them.

In the pilot build

Anyone can check

A lender or insurer can check any record against the device’s public key, without relying on Nche to vouch for it.

In the pilot build

Knows if it’s tampered with

The box records if it’s opened, unbolted, knocked or moved, and those records are sealed just like a reading.

Privacy notice in review

Your farm’s data stays yours

Handled under Nigeria’s Data Protection Act 2023. Nche never sells farm data, and a bank or insurer sees a farm’s records only if the farmer agrees. Read the privacy notice.

Secure chip rated JIL High NIST-validated cryptography (CAVP A4280)

Microchip’s published results for the ATECC608C, the secure chip Nche plans to use. They describe the chip, not Nche as a whole.

Questions lenders ask

The short answers.

Can Nche be part of the loan?

Yes. Lenders can make monitoring a condition of a poultry loan, or include the devices in the financing.

Is it only for big banks?

No. It works for commercial banks, microfinance banks, cooperatives and development lending programmes.
