A Landbank loan at 3% a year, inside the planting window — then a per-plot AI planting protocol that a farmer follows to lift his own yield, crop insurance, and a buyer already contracted.
Farmers who follow the protocol earn about ₱180,000 more a year — nine times what the platform costs them.
The four engines
Every engine is a concrete, measurable lift to the bottom line of the farm.
Landbank holds a ₱12 billion facility for smallholders at 3% a year. Frez.ai gets a farmer into it — instead of the trader at 72–99% or the “5-6” lender at 170–340%.
How the loan is priced →The average rice farmer gets 4.14 tonnes a hectare; on the same land, with the same seed, 5.7 to 7.5 is achievable. The gap is not weather — it is protocol, and protocol is what software is good at.
See the crop protocol →Crop insurance is written into the loan, so a typhoon or an infestation does not turn one bad season into years of debt. The season is protected before it is planted.
See what is covered →A buyer is contracted before planting and remits to the bank at harvest. The farmer sells at an agreed price, not at whatever the trader who financed him decides to pay.
See the buyer network →Why the farmer signs
The income comes from following the Frez.ai planting protocol — a per-plot calendar for variety, spacing, fertiliser rate and timing, water and pest thresholds, checked by satellite every fortnight. Same land, same seed, a different season.
Extra income a year, to the farmer
+₱180,000
₱150,000 of it comes from a bigger harvest grown by following the protocol, and ₱30,000 from borrowing at 3% instead of the trader's 24–33% a cropping season.
₱19,000
is what he pays Frez.ai — 5% of the loan in fees, plus margin inside inputs he was buying anyway.

what he gets back for what it costs him. That ratio is why he enrols, follows the protocol and repays.
The yield gap, in tonnes a hectare
Achievable on-farm yields of 5.7–7.5 t/ha measured on smallholder plots, not research stations (Sebastian, Alviola & Francisco, FAO). The income above is underwritten at 6.5 t/ha — inside that band, not at the top of it.
The cost of a year's production credit
Drawn to scale, 0 to 340% a year. The money is already there at 2 to 3%. Most farmers never reach it — 63.6% borrow informally, and only 1.4% borrow from a bank.
How it works
Rice goes in the ground in October. Today the file takes thirty-one documents from eight counters, then one to two months to release. Frez.ai closes that gap.
The farmer answers questions in his own language, on the app. It captures his government IDs and auto-fills the documents.
Documents, credit investigation and plot survey assemble themselves. An officer confirms rather than compiles.
A thin-file score the bank's own credit committee will sign.
Money leaves as inputs, not cash — geo-tagged and farmer-signed at the plot.
The contracted buyer remits to the bank. Repayment is swept at source, not chased.
Inside the app
Six screens, one season: apply in Filipino, let the paperwork assemble itself, follow the protocol, and sell to a buyer who is already contracted.

Kuya AI asks what he plants and how much land he has. He answers by voice or tap — no forms, no queue. The app captures his government IDs as he goes.

Every plot gets its own calendar. NDVI is read each fortnight, and days 30, 60 and 75 are release gates — the next tranche of inputs only moves when the crop is confirmed. A sick leaf photographed comes back with a diagnosis and a paid-for remedy.

The Frez loop
Four engines feed one flywheel. Cheap credit and AI raise the yield; insurance protects it; a contracted buyer monetises it at an agreed price — and the record of that season makes the next loan faster and cheaper.

Documents the farmer collects himself
For Landbank & investors
Enterprise software sold to a bank. The platform originates, underwrites, disburses and collects on the bank's own book, and is paid five recurring fees for the work — none of them interest. Frez lends nothing and holds no loan book — the bank keeps the asset, the spread and every peso of credit risk, and finally reaches a borrower it is mandated to serve.
