Ricult comes from the middle syllables of the word 'Agriculture'. In keeping with this phonetic tradition, Ricult aims to become integral to the agriculture of tomorrow. The solution to global problems like food shortage, malnourishment, poverty, rural unemployment need to start with smallholder farmers. We feel the world is ready for farming to be revolutionized and become more inclusive and empowering for the very people who form the backbone of this industry. This goal defines the very core of what we are all about. We are not a charity; we are an empowering community transformation. This is the basis for a brighter future, built on hand-ups, not handouts.
To give smallholder farmers the tools they need to be better informed and empowered economic actors - to work their way out of poverty. We at Ricult built our entire business model around a simple insight: improving agricultural productivity and profitability is the only sustainable route to stronger rural communities. As a double-bottom line social enterprise, we promise to enable smallholder farmers to become economically independent and improve, not only their own but their families and entire communities standard of living.
Keeping pace with the rapidly evolving digital world, we bring unique insights, entrepreneurial passion and individual experiences together through the Ricult Team. Our team comprises of a dynamic mix of people who bring with them an abundance of skill, knowledge and determination to succeed. At Ricult, providing solutions to your needs is our core expertise.
