Agritech Startup Khula Backed by PepsiCo’s Kgodiso Fund
- Khula raised $6.7 million in Series A funding in March 2025, backed by PepsiCo's Kgodiso Development Fund.
- PepsiCo has become Khula's largest buyer, ensuring guaranteed market access for farmers.
- Khula's platform features a Fresh Produce Marketplace, Inputs App, and Funder Dashboard to support farmers.
Khula's innovative approach to integrating technology in agriculture, combined with strategic partnerships like that with PepsiCo, presents a promising model for addressing systemic challenges in African agriculture. This collaboration not only enhances market access for farmers but also fosters sustainable practices that could lead to long-term economic resilience. Further discussions should explore how similar models can be replicated across different regions to maximize impact.
