Ripple Helps Colombian Farmers with New Program

Ripple has teamed up with Mercy Corps Ventures to support 300 small sugarcane farmers in Colombia. Using blockchain (XRPL), they’re helping farmers get supplies now and pay later, after they sell their crops.

Key points:

No upfront payment: Farmers get what they need and pay after harvest.

More women involved: 46% of farmers are women—more than usual.

Clear tracking: Each crop batch has a QR code showing how and where it was grown.

Better prices: Buyers trust the info and may pay more.

Works offline too: A company called WËIA helps make sure the system works even without internet.

This program gives farmers better access to money, fairer markets, and more stable incomes.
