Challenges We Tackle

Agro Enterprises to be Impacted

Farmer awaiitng finance

Farmers and agribusinesses struggle to secure loans or investment capital, hindering their ability to invest in equipment, technology, and expansion.

SPOILT MAIZE POST HARVEST LOSS

40% of agricultural produce spoil due to inadequate storage, transportation, or processing facilities, causing losses for farmers and food scarcity.

small rural african market

Farmers face challenges reaching markets due to poor infrastructure, geographical barriers, or lack of market information, limiting their ability to sell their products effectively.

Farmers produce goods that do not meet market standards due to insufficient knowledge, resources, or infrastructure for quality control and post-harvest handling.

Stakeholders lack access to comprehensive data and insights on agricultural trends, market demands, and supply chain dynamics, impeding informed decision-making and strategic planning.

low tech farming

Farmers and agribusinesses underutilize technology such as precision agriculture, IoT, and data analytics, missing out on opportunities to improve efficiency, productivity, and sustainability.

Insufficient infrastructure, such as roads, irrigation systems, and processing facilities, hampers agricultural production and distribution, limiting the industry’s growth and competitiveness.
