Riskstac

What is it?

Riskstac provides a robust credit risk management platform that utilises deep agronomic data to make global agricultural lending predictable, safe, and highly efficient.

Agricultural lending is notoriously risky due to the unpredictable nature of farming, forcing financial institutions to rely on inadequate financial histories rather than actual biological potential when evaluating loans. This lack of visibility results in high interest rates for farmers and dangerous portfolios of non-performing assets (NPAs) for lenders. Riskstac revolutionises agricultural finance by substituting traditional credit scores with comprehensive, data-driven Farm Health Ratings. By synthesizing three decades of weather data, high-resolution satellite imagery, soil health metrics, and IoT sensor inputs, the platform provides lenders with an objective, real-time assessment of a farm's exact repayment capability based on actual crop phenology.

Why use it?

Integrating biological and climate data into the lending process completely de-risks agricultural finance. By generating transparent Farm Credit Reports, lenders can confidently approve loans based on precise, scientific yield predictions rather than guesswork, significantly expanding access to economical credit for farmers. Once a loan is issued, continuous satellite and IoT monitoring allows financial institutions to proactively track farm performance throughout the entire growing season. This immediate visibility enables lenders to implement pre-emptive mitigation strategies at the first sign of crop stress, drastically arresting potential defaults and securing the health of the overall loan portfolio.

Key Features

• Generates Farm Credit Ratings: Formulates robust credit scores derived entirely from past weather indices, soil health, irrigation capabilities, and current crop health.

• Monitors Loan Portfolios: Tracks digital farm performance continuously from the date of loan disbursement to final repayment to identify at-risk assets early.

• Analyses Historical Climate: Utilises over 30 years of localized weather data to precisely evaluate how climate volatility will influence expected crop yields.

• Leverages Granular IoT: Captures 161 distinct data points via IoT sensors to monitor critical parameters impacting daily crop performance and mitigate external risks.

• Evaluates Soil Suitability: Assesses comprehensive soil health data to confirm optimized crop selection and accurately predict biological yield potential.

• Deploys Predictive Analytics: Employs high-resolution satellite imagery to provide precise, continuous monitoring of land usage and localized crop stress indicators.

Who is it for?

This credit risk management platform is engineered for global agricultural lenders, rural microfinance institutions, and agricultural banks operating primarily in Asia. It is designed for financial risk officers seeking to minimize agricultural NPAs through data science.
