A platform connecting Nigerian/African farmers to micro-financing and buyers using tokenized invoices on Stellar. # AgroStella 🌾 ### Agricultural Supply Chain Finance on Stellar AgroStella is an open-source, decentralized platform designed to bridge the liquidity gap for African farmers[cite: 1]. By leveraging **Stellar's Soroban smart contracts**, the platform enables farmers to tokenize their future harvests as Real World Assets (RWA), allowing them to access immediate micro-financing from global buyers and investors using USDC[cite: 1]. --- ## 🚀 The Vision & Quick Start ### 1.
