Pre-Disbursement Verification
Query a farmer's record before releasing a loan, grant, or input package. Confirm identity, land ownership, crop history, and prior funding activity, all backed by a documented verification trail.
For Institutions
Fund farmers you can actually verify.
Prodile gives banks, government agencies, and development institutions a way to confirm a farmer's identity, land, and activity before a single naira is disbursed.
The Real Cost
The cost of funding without verification
Every year, institutional agricultural funding in Nigeria reaches beneficiaries who were never independently confirmed to be real, active farmers. The result is predictable: funds are diverted, default rates rise, and the smallholder farmers the funding was meant to reach remain underserved.
This is not a policy failure. It is a data failure. Institutions have never had a reliable way to verify a farmer before committing funds to them. Prodile exists to close that gap.
What You Get
What Prodile gives institutions
Managed Disbursement
Rather than releasing cash directly to farmers, route funding through Prodile to be disbursed as verified inputs (seeds, fertiliser, agrochemicals, tools) delivered to a confirmed farm location. This significantly reduces the risk of funds being diverted from their intended purpose.
Ongoing Portfolio Monitoring
Once a farmer is funded, their profile continues to update through regular field visits, giving institutions visibility into crop progress, input use, and produce output for the lifetime of the funding relationship.
Audit-Ready Reporting
Every verification step, every disbursement, and every update is permanently and immutably recorded. When auditors or oversight bodies ask where funding went and what it produced, the answer is already documented.
Partnership Models
How institutions work with Prodile
01
Data Access
Institutions can query the verified farmer database directly, used for due diligence, beneficiary screening, or programme design. Access is tiered based on institutional needs and data volume.
02
Disbursement Partnership
For institutions ready to route funding through Prodile, we manage the verified, accountable delivery of inputs to confirmed farmers, with full reporting throughout.
03
Pilot Collaboration
For institutions exploring this model for the first time, we offer structured pilot partnerships: a defined cohort of farmers, clear success metrics, and a path to a larger engagement if the pilot performs.
Why Now
The right moment to engage early.
Prodile is currently running its founding pilot in Nasarawa State, working toward 1,000 verified farmer profiles. This is the proof of concept that precedes broader institutional rollout, the right moment for institutions to engage early, shape how the model is applied to their specific use case, and benefit from the data this pilot will generate.
Compliance
A foundation built on compliance
Prodile's verification architecture was built with regulatory reality in mind from day one. Our approach to data privacy aligns with Nigeria's Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), and our disbursement model is structured to operate through licensed financial partners, with a clear pathway toward independent regulatory licensing as the platform scales.
