We have been active participants in the farming space over the past decade and been directly involved in planting, growing, harvesting, packing, shipping, setting up farms, scaling up for commercialization as well as the import/export of produce. We understand that many of our counter-parties need tools to help them manage their finances so they can have one less worry on their minds when trying to produce the tastiest and most nutritious crops they possibly can. Along our journey, we came across many connecting parts that allowed us to create RIPER and believe deeply that this will be a powerful instrument. We aim to financially empower farmers by paying them quickly, in cash. In turn, they will be able to cover their expenses and also pay down any debt commitments they have and eventually, be debt free and begin to enjoy farming without a monetary burden weighing on them.
