Smallholder farmers in Africa face significant challenges, including limited access to modern agriculture technologies with a staggering ratio of 2000 farmers to 1 agent, leading to reduced yields and incomes. However, there are opportunities to enhance their autonomy through high mobile phone penetration, improved access to financial services, and better market connections. Our initiative aims to provide improved information access and communication pathways for these farmers and agricultural stakeholders, targeting the 400 million smallholders across Africa, particularly in Ghana.
