AgriZoom

About Solution

A crowdfunding and E-Commerce platform powered by an Android App that helps farmers, fishing communities, agricultural processors and ranchers raise money in the form of an interest-bearing loan and to access the market for the sale of their products in order to avoid food waste and increase their productivity.

Our solution is also easily accessible in rural areas without an internet connexion as we are discussing with télecom companies to set up a USSD system to make our services accessible from any kind of mobile phone.

AgriZoom has an embedded WEB Media that promotes agribusiness to attract young people to this very promising sector while helping them succeed by selling their products on our platform so that they focus solely on producing and enhancing the quality of their product.

  • The idea that won the international but symbolyc PRIZE ($500) of the The best idea to End Hunger and Poverty in the world by the international food policy research institute (www.IFPRI.org) in partnership with Food and Agriculture Organization in November 2018.

THE CURRENT SOCIAL ISSUE WE'RE TRYING TO SOLVE

In 2017 my country imported one billion dollar of food while there are farmers and fishermen in countryside with productions but no access to the market. As a Zero-Hunger and No-Poverty advocate, i believe that my country and neighboring developing countries economic inclusion rely on their abilities to foster agricultural sector as it's mainly occupied by rural populations who are the most vulnerables.

  • The difficulty of finding customers to sell agricultural productions before or after harvesting, leading to food waste;
  • the difficulties and harassment of accessing financing from banks by 90% of farmers with 72% of them from rural areas;
  • The difficulty that agricultural products processors and ranche face to access the market;
  • The food waste by collectivitivities of fishermen from rural areas whom in lack of customers are obliged to use the fishes for family meals;
  • Difficulties for wholesalers to know where the production is at any period of the year and how to buy and get delivered;
  • The exorbitant costs of monthly fees to keep money in a bank account;
  • The difficulties of African countries cross border agricultural trade
