By addressing key agricultural challenges and leveraging advanced technologies alongside sustainable capacity building, KoltiHub provides localized solutions and drives sustainable innovation.
To tackle systemic challenges in agriculture and enhance the livelihoods of farming communities globally, we collaborate with local bean collectors—trusted community leaders—by transforming them into KoltiHub. These hubs serve as critical access points, channeling essential products and services directly to producers.
Supported by financial and technical assistance, KoltiHub focuses on developing inclusive financial services by combining funding and expertise.
By bridging the gap between smallholders and vital resources, KoltiHub creates opportunities for smallholder producers and rural micro-entrepreneurs to thrive and build resilient farming communities.

Building Sustainable Sourcing Centres:
KoltiHub's Path to Empowering Local Communities
With KoltiHub, we are not just building sustainable sourcing centers; we are creating a movement of empowerment and change. we are committed to fostering gender equality and youth empowerment within rural communities, providing them with the tools, resources, and opportunities to lead and redefine the future of agriculture in rural communities.
At KoltiHub, we are committed to transforming rural communities by establishing sustainable sourcing centres that fuel growth, foster empowerment, and build resilience.
Our robust, year-long process is designed to provide unwavering support and the essential resources needed to transform each centre into a thriving, self-sustaining hub of agricultural innovation.
We carefully select sourcing centres with the potential to grow and scale, ensuring they meet critical eligibility criteria. These centres are the foundation of a transformative model, where Koltiva serves as the incubator during the first year, guiding them towards complete independence by year two.
This approach ensures that the sourcing centres not only achieve operational autonomy but also become key players in driving agricultural innovation, sustainability, and long-term economic growth for their communities.
Empowering Women and Youth through Sustainable Sourcing: KoltiHub's Inclusive Approach
Women Leading the Charge in Agriculture
In many rural areas, women are the backbone of agriculture, managing the finances and demonstrating exceptional digital literacy. Despite this, leadership opportunities often remain out of reach. KoltiHub is changing that by placing women at the forefront of our sustainable sourcing centres.
We are committed to equipping women with the necessary skills in financial literacy, technology, and business management, positioning them as the primary users of our innovative platforms—FarmGate (transactional traceability) and FarmRetail (business management). These women will oversee the finances and growth of the business, ensuring its long-term success and sustainability.
To further drive this transformation, we are implementing a gender-inclusive strategy within Koltiva itself. Our recruitment efforts are focused on empowering women to join our field teams, with a special focus on mentoring and developing female graduates.
By attracting and supporting more women from the sourcing communities, we are building a pipeline of female leaders who will drive the KoltiHub ecosystem forward and open doors for others to achieve financial independence.
Empowering Youth to Lead the Future of Farming
KoltiHub is committed to engaging the next generation of agricultural leaders—young producers. These young producers will play a central role in transforming their communities by becoming community trainers within KoltiHub.
Through hands-on training with Koltiva’s Supplier Engagement and Producer Engagement Officers, these youth will gain the skills needed to train local farmers, develop demo plots, and lead group sessions on sustainable practices.
To ensure their commitment, young producers will be incentivized by receiving a share of the premium paid to KoltiHub for providing traceable, sustainable crops.
By giving them ownership and responsibility, we not only secure the future of KoltiHub but also build a legacy of youth-led agricultural innovation.
This approach will ignite passion, drive, and the spirit of entrepreneurship among young farmers, empowering them to become key players in the future of agriculture.
