What Is Agricultural Due Diligence?

Verified Intelligence Before You Commit Capital, Contracts, or Credibility

Agricultural due diligence is an independent, on-the-ground assessment of a farm, cooperative, outgrower scheme, or supply chain β€” conducted before an investment, purchase contract, partnership, or programme commitment is finalised.

It answers the question every serious buyer, investor, and development organisation needs answered: does what this farm or organisation claims on paper actually exist in the field?

In Kenya’s agricultural sector, the gap between what producers claim and what they can actually deliver is one of the most common and costly risks for buyers, investors, and NGO programme managers. We close that gap with verified, documented field intelligence.

⚠️ What Goes Wrong Without Due Diligence

βœ—Investing in a farm that cannot deliver claimed volumes
βœ—Signing supply contracts with non-certified producers
βœ—Funding programmes where beneficiaries don’t exist
βœ—Sourcing from farms with hidden labour violations
βœ—Acquiring assets with undisclosed environmental liabilities

Types of Due Diligence

Four Assessment Types β€” Each Designed for a Specific Need

πŸ”

Supply Chain Compliance Assessment

For buyers and exporters who need to verify that their supplier farms and outgrower networks meet certification, social, and environmental requirements before signing supply contracts or placing purchase orders.

Best for

Exporters, traders, and processors sourcing from multiple farms or cooperatives

πŸ“Š

Investment Due Diligence

For investors, development finance institutions, and agri-funds evaluating agricultural projects before committing capital. We verify land use, production capacity, certification status, market linkages, management systems, and financial projections against field reality.

Best for

Private investors, DFIs, agri-venture capital, and impact funds

🌍

Environmental & Social Due Diligence

For NGOs, development organisations, and international buyers who need to verify environmental and social compliance β€” covering labour practices, worker welfare, child labour risk, water and chemical management, and biodiversity protection.

Best for

NGOs, USAID/GIZ implementing partners, ethical sourcing teams

πŸ›οΈ

Programme Verification

For county governments and donor agencies needing independent verification that agricultural programmes are delivering results on the ground β€” confirming beneficiary existence, activity implementation, and outcome achievement against programme targets.

Best for

County governments, donor agencies, and programme evaluators

Assessment Coverage

What We Verify in the Field

πŸ“‹

Certification Status

Verification of claimed certifications β€” we confirm directly with certification bodies, not just review the certificate.

🌾

Production Capacity

Verified farm size, crop variety, tree/plant count, and realistic annual yield estimates based on field observation.

πŸ‘·

Labour Practices

Worker welfare, wage records, child labour assessment, PPE availability, and worker interview protocols.

🌿

Agrochemical Management

Pesticide storage conditions, application records, MRL compliance risk, and restricted substance usage.

πŸ’§

Water & Soil

Water source documentation, irrigation records, erosion risk, and soil management practices.

πŸ“

Record-Keeping Systems

Farm diary quality, input purchase records, harvest logs, and traceability system functionality.

🏒

Management Systems

Organisational structure, decision-making capacity, financial management, and governance systems.

πŸ“Έ

Photographic Evidence

Timestamped, geotagged field photographs documenting conditions, facilities, and compliance status.

How It Works

From Brief to Written Report in 7–10 Business Days

1

Scope & Brief Agreement

We discuss your specific due diligence requirement β€” what you need verified, what decision it will inform, the location and type of operation, and your timeline. We provide a fixed-scope quote and confirm methodology. Confidentiality is absolute.

2

Document Review (Remote)

We review all available documentation β€” certificates, registration documents, financial records, production data, and programme reports. We identify what we need to verify on-site versus what can be confirmed remotely.

3

On-Site Field Assessment

Our consultant visits the farm, cooperative, or programme site. We conduct physical verification, worker interviews (where applicable), record inspection, facility assessment, and timestamped photographic documentation. We mobilise within 48–72 hours of confirmation.

4

Certification & Reference Verification

We independently confirm certification status with the relevant certification bodies and verify any other claims that can be cross-referenced against external sources. We do not rely solely on documents presented by the subject of the assessment.

βœ“

Written Report Delivered

You receive a structured written report within 5 business days of the field visit β€” covering all assessed areas, key findings, risk flags, photographic evidence, and a clear summary recommendation. The report is formatted for use in investment decisions, procurement processes, or programme documentation.
