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 — 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
✅ What You Get With Our Due Diligence
Types of Due Diligence
Four Assessment Types — Each Designed for a Specific Need
Assessment Coverage
What We Verify in the Field
Certification Status
Verification of claimed certifications — 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.
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.
Water & Soil
Water source documentation, irrigation records, erosion risk, and soil management practices.
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.
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
Scope & Brief Agreement
We discuss your specific due diligence requirement — 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.
Document Review (Remote)
We review all available documentation — 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.
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.
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.
Written Report Delivered
You receive a structured written report within 5 business days of the field visit — 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.

Common Questions
Agricultural Due Diligence — FAQs
What exactly is agricultural due diligence?
It is an independent, on-the-ground verification of a farm, cooperative, outgrower scheme, or supply chain — carried out before you finalise an investment, supply contract, partnership, or programme. It confirms whether what the operation claims on paper actually exists in the field.
Is the assessment confidential?
Yes. Every engagement is conducted under a signed non-disclosure agreement. The subject of the assessment is not told who commissioned the work unless you request otherwise, and the report is shared exclusively with you for internal decision-making.
How long does it take, and how is it priced?
You receive a written report within 5–10 business days of the field visit, depending on scope. We confirm our methodology, timeline, and a fixed-scope cost within 24 hours of your brief, and we can mobilise anywhere in Kenya within 48–72 hours.
What does the report include?
Verified field data, independent confirmation of certification status, realistic production and volume estimates, social and environmental compliance findings, clearly flagged risks, photographic evidence, and a summary recommendation — formatted for use in investment, procurement, or programme decisions.
Do you cover EUDR and deforestation-risk verification?
Yes. For EU-bound supply chains we assess traceability and deforestation risk relevant to the EU Deforestation Regulation, so buyers can verify supplier readiness before placing orders. See our EUDR compliance guide for detail.
Can you verify a specific farm or cooperative for us?
Yes. Send us the operation, its location, the scope you need verified, and your timeline via WhatsApp or email, and we will confirm scope and cost within 24 hours.
