1. The document discusses alternative payment options for farmers in Kenya, including mobile payments through M-Pesa, credit options, and proposed "milk currency" tied to a farmer's mobile phone.
2. It proposes a system that would allow farmers to immediately access the value of milk deliveries through a "Maziwa card" tied to their mobile, allowing them to make purchases from merchants in the ecosystem.
3. Bringing together banks, Saccos, suppliers, schools and more on a common platform could provide farmers financing options, traceability of amounts, and access to inputs while increasing business for suppliers. Mobipay's role would be providing the technology to integrate all players
