Get answers to common questions about supporting Filipino farmers and earning from agricultural investments

Is BalikAni an investment platform?

No. BalikAni is not an investment platform. It's a co-farming and rice trading ecosystem where you can support real agricultural activities or buy rice inventory shares. We handle everything — from planting and milling to selling and distribution.

There are no fixed returns, no tiers, and no recruitment involved. Just real participation in the food supply chain — with shared income based on actual harvest and sales.

How do I get started?

Simply choose whether you want to support a farmer or buy rice/crop shares. Download our app, register on the platform, and select from available programs. Everything is done online with full transparency.

Is this legal and safe?

Yes. BalikAni operates as an agricultural platform under Philippine law. We partner with PCIC (Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation) to insure your support. You are helping farmers — and in return, you benefit from the cycle.

How can I earn in BalikAni?

There are two simple ways to earn with BalikAni:

  • Become a Supporter – Help fund a farmer's crop cycle. Once they harvest and sell, you receive a share of the net income.
  • Become a Crop Trader – Buy rice or palay shares. BalikAni handles the milling, logistics, and sales — you earn a share of the profits when it's sold.

We make farming and rice trading accessible to everyday Filipinos — no farming experience needed.

How do I receive earnings?

Once your supported crop is sold, your income share is:

  • Calculated transparently
  • Sent directly to your GCash, Maya, or bank account

No complicated steps — just real results, delivered clearly.

How can I fund or cash out?

You can use GCash, Maya, or credit/debit card to support. Cashouts follow a simple withdrawal request processed directly to your wallet or bank account.

Is there a minimum amount to start?

We designed BalikAni to be accessible for everyone. You can start with small support amounts depending on the farmer or rice inventory available. No big capital required — just real support, real food, real impact.

What makes BalikAni different from other platforms?

BalikAni is not about promises or hype. It's a co-farming and rice trading platform built with transparency and community at its core. We focus on real agricultural work and food supply chain participation — not on referrals, tiers, or gimmicks.

Who are the farmers I'm supporting?

BalikAni partners with verified and registered farmers — many of them located in rural communities like Upi, Maguindanao. Each farmer goes through validation to ensure your support helps real people with real harvests.

How can I monitor my support or trading activities?

You'll have access to your own dashboard in our mobile app where you can see the farmers you support, rice shares you hold, transaction summaries, and income updates — all in one place.
