The company was initiated with a major focus of filling the gaps in the agricultural sector of Uganda and Africa. We realized that most farmers were making a lot of losses in their businesses just because they lacked information access and technical guidance.
We want to make farming one of the biggest and most reliable businesses of all times and attract the young majority population into the value chain.
We came up to create solutions for Africa’s agribusiness sector.
