  • In Côte d'Ivoire, the startup Wi-Agri to the aid of cashew producers 02/28/2022

    Mar 2nd, 2022

    The Wi-Agri digital platform in the pilot phase aims to provide solutions faced by cashew producers. Farmers have difficulties with the traceability of their production, which leads to enormous losses. Despite the reluctance of farmers, the startup wants to help them by providing solutions for better performance. Côte d'Ivoire is the leader in cashew production with 900,000 tonnes in 2021. Despite this figure, the sector is still facing difficulties that can have consequences for the continuity of activities. Wi-Agri will allow the producer to be able to locate and reconstruct the route from production to distribution. And even to get paid by mobile money. The monthly subscription fee to the platform amounts to 200 CFA francs “With the Wi-Agri digital platform we have traceability on the producer's sales; it also allows us to know how much phytosanitary products are needed to maintain a certain area”, explains Houphouët K. Emmanuel, on the sidelines of the Wi-Agri launch press conference. Wi-Agri is a platform that offers expanded, secure, and transparent transactions between buyers and sellers throughout the value chain. A range of financial services, agricultural advice and financial education for the successful empowerment of producers, with a focus on women and environmental protection.
