Innovative Agricultural Advisor in Nigeria

Kitovu creates access to the market for farmers by using multi-platform compatible mobile applications which link manufacturers to retailers and consumers. It aims to solve the issues encountered by farmers in their business process from end to end i.e from farm to market. Many farmers in Africa are used to farming from the supply side without considering what is demanded in the market. Kitovu solves the problem of farmer supplies without information on demand by providing farmers with a platform with vital data to aid their decision-making. These data provided by Kitovu to farmers provide three broad insights which are what to grow, how to grow, and who to sell to. The Kitovu platform collects data from farmers and fields which are connected to remote sensing HDI. This enables Kitovu to run analyses on different farmland and come up with recommendations of valuable inputs to farmers. By providing the farmer with info on what to grow, it gives farmers a guarantee on demand for their product which means farming effectively for the farmers.
