Disclosed funding in this Kenya agriculture and farming set is dominated by one outlier: Sistema.bio raised $53M on 2026-03-17, a figure that dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds (Agventure’s $10M on 2024-11-08 and Komaza’s $10M on 2022-01-12). At the other extreme, Zaoshinani’s $10K round on 2024-10-09 sits far below the rest of the disclosed amounts.
The 13 most recent entries span 2021-06-21 (Apollo Agriculture) through 2026-03-17 (Sistema.bio), with clustering in Nairobi: Nairobi-based companies include Sistema.bio (2026-03-17), Farm to Feed (2025-11-03, $230K), Synnefa (2025-10-28, $300K), Cinch Markets (2025-08-28, undisclosed), Zaoshinani (2024-10-09, $10K), SokoFresh (2023-02-09, undisclosed), Victory Farms (2022-05-18, $5M), Twiga Foods (2021-11-01, $50M), and Apollo Agriculture (2021-06-21, $1M). Stage labels are frequently missing: 4 entries are “Series Unknown” (e.g., Farm to Feed, 2025-11-03, $230K; Agriloom, 2026-03-06, undisclosed) and 2 are “undisclosed” amounts (Agriloom; Cinch Markets).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the size outlier, and how does it compare with the next-largest disclosed amounts in the same dataset?
Sistema.bio’s $53M round on 2026-03-17 is the only disclosed amount above $50M in these 13 rows. The next-largest disclosed rounds are $10M each from Agventure (2024-11-08) and Komaza (2022-01-12), making the $53M figure substantially larger than the rest.
Do the most recent closings cluster tightly in time, or are they spread across several years?
The most recent 90 days are led by 2026-03-17 (Sistema.bio, $53M) and 2026-03-06 (Agriloom, undisclosed). Beyond that, activity continues with 2025-11-03 (Farm to Feed, $230K), 2025-10-28 (Synnefa, $300K), and 2025-08-28 (Cinch Markets, undisclosed), showing a late-2025 to March-2026 concentration rather than a single burst.
Is Nairobi over-represented compared with other cities in this agriculture and farming list?
Nine of the 13 entries are Nairobi-based (Sistema.bio; Farm to Feed; Synnefa; Cinch Markets; Zaoshinani; SokoFresh; Victory Farms; Twiga Foods; Apollo Agriculture). The remaining entries are distributed across Nakuru (Agriloom), Meru (Agventure), Kisumu (AquaRech), Kilifi (Komaza), and with no other city matching Nairobi’s count.
What stage mix dominates, and how often are stage or amount details missing?
“Series Unknown” appears in 4 rows (Sistema.bio is labeled Series Unknown; Farm to Feed; Synnefa; and Agriloom also show Series Unknown), while 2 entries have an “undisclosed” amount (Agriloom on 2026-03-06 and Cinch Markets on 2025-08-28). Several others have explicit stages/labels such as Seed (AquaRech, 2023-11-22, $2M), Debt Financing (Komaza, 2022-01-12, $10M), Series C (Twiga Foods, 2021-11-01, $50M), and one row with a blank stage (Apollo Agriculture, 2021-06-21, $1M).
Are there any unusually small disclosed rounds that could skew deal-size interpretations?
Yes. Zaoshinani’s disclosed $10K on 2024-10-09 is the smallest disclosed amount in the visible rows, far below mid-range disclosed rounds like $230K (Farm to Feed, 2025-11-03), $300K (Synnefa, 2025-10-28), and $1M (Apollo Agriculture, 2021-06-21), so it functions as a low-end outlier.
