B2B Buy Now, Pay Later and digital trade credit, built for the agriculture industry

Field of wheat

With a projected value of more than $18 billion by 2026, agriculture is the world’s largest industry, employing over one billion people globally. Pasture and cropland take up half of the habitable land on Earth, generating over $1.3 trillion dollars worth of food annually.

Despite its value and importance, the trade of agricultural products continues to take place via the risky and costly offline methods that it has relied on for decades. This means that food manufacturers, distributors, restaurants and other buyers making large orders expect to defer payment. Suppliers who don’t offer trade credit find it more difficult to win and retain customers.

Recent digitisation in the market has seen many agricultural transactions move online. However, the majority of sellers and marketplaces have found it difficult and complex to offer flexible credit terms and the option to pay later in an online setting.

With B2B Buy Now, Pay Later for farmers and other agricultural suppliers, that’s where Hokodo’s comes in.

Hokodo removes the risk and hassle associated with offering payment terms online, allowing agricultural suppliers to make credit decisions in real-time.

With Buy Now, Pay Later, agriculture suppliers get paid up front, while B2B buyers get the flexibility to pay at a later date.
