The CRO of CropIn Mr. Jitesh Shah stated during the partnership that “We are delighted to partner with Mucheki Consulting which enables us to bring positive change in lives of food providers and farmers in Africa. Our continuous strive has been to offer unique technology-based solutions to the agricultural value chain. The partnership can aid the opening of more vistas in Africa for the sustainable agricultural ecosystem.”
He stated further that “The situation over the last eighteen months has hastened the innovative efforts to design and employ the power of digital technology to provide innovative solutions to existing challenges in agriculture. Evidence emerging from Africa shows that new-age technology can enhance the income and productivity of marginal farmers by enhancing their efficiency, increasing access to financial markets and inputs, and increase traceability.”
Agricultural data collection, analysis, and use have huge potential in disrupting existing agricultural business models. A new strategic partnership between the government and private sector can assist in reaping the positive benefits of digital technology.”
Speaking about the partnership, Mr. Churchward Mucheki Group, CEO, Mucheki Consulting said, “Agriculture is at the heart of the African people. With an estimation of over 60 million farms, modern-day farming has become an intensely scientific practice. The increasing population, ever-changing demographic landscapes, Global warming, and diverse urban dietary requirements all call for a technologically enhanced value chain. Mucheki has the goal of playing a vital role in Africa’s agricultural sector, and we believe CropIn has some digital solutions that support our initiative. With low per capita income in Africa, food security is still a challenge to be addressed. We believe that tech solutions / technological support CropIn provides will aid the initiative by streamlining agri-production processes which will bring about general affordability of quality produce even for low-income earners. We are glad about this collaboration and are confident it will have a positive impact on Agriculture in Africa.”
