About us
About Synnefa Our mission is to eliminate risks and improve incomes for 1,000,000 farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our vision is to see a world where African smallholder farmers generate a legacy of thriving farms for future generations. Synnefa, a Greek word for 'cloud', is crucial for both farmers who need clouds for rain and technology developers who rely on Cloud infrastructure for their applications. Our agricultural philosophy: Farmers face compounding challenges of climate change, decreasing land sizes, soil erosion, inadequate supply chains, unpredictable markets and poor access to capital which trap them in poverty. They simply lack control! To solve for all these challenges is hard! There is no shortcut or silver bullet that will solve for all these challenges farmers face today. We believe that a multi approach to the challenges farmers face is what it will take to move the dot and create the impact we want to see. Once we see this impact, we need to take it to scale. Our Theory of Change is that if we build and finance climate smart farming tools for farmers, then they will grow high value crops year-round while using fewer resources, and their incomes will improve. Our strategy to reach scale is focusing on making our products and services good enough, simple enough to be used and cheap enough for a market size that is big enough. We call it the 4 enoughs for scale. Working together with farmers; Our company slogan is making complex farming feel simple! because that’s what we do every day. We push ourselves to create solutions that will make complex farming feel simple. Growing food deserves to be easy when using modern farming solutions.We do this by partnering with farmers to provide them with affordable modern farming solutions to increase efficiency and improve production. We want farmers to do what they love most-farming! and leave all the heavy lifting to us!

Every farmer’s season tells a story. A story of resilience, learning, and growth. We’re part of these stories by building the tools that help farmers thrive. Each season reveals something new: how technology can make farming more efficient, how data empowers better decisions, and how we can better serve farmers' needs. These lessons fuel our mission to innovate and improve. What’s one lesson farming has taught you this year?

To build a successful farming business, you need to start by offering value. And that value? It comes from passion. Passion drives you through the tough times, the challenges that come with unpredictable weather, pests, and market fluctuations. It’s what keeps you going when the profit isn’t immediate. In farming, value creation comes before profit, and passion is the fuel that keeps that value growing. Profit will follow when you prioritize value.

Rain or shine, our smart solar dryers keep coffee beans 🫘 fully traceable and perfectly dry. No more post-harvest losses—just better beans and bigger incomes for our farmers!
Today on #FarmFriday, we are excited to share that farmers are now drying their coffee in solar dryers 😃 Farmers can now reduce post-harvest losses and make the most of this harvest season.
