KITOVU
We help farmers triple their crop yields while guaranteeing offtake through our data driven platform
To transform Africa into the hub that feeds the world by leveraging on technology to solve problems that affect Africa’s agriculture all across the value chains; from farm to fork. This would make possible a world where extreme poverty and hunger is no more!
We would achieve this by using Kitovu; a mobile based platform that collects, analyzes and aggregates soil and geo-location data, as a tool to provide farmers with soil and crop specific fertilizers, improved seedlings, and agro-chemicals, while connecting farm produce to offtakers.
We believe that by 2028, Kitovu would be a resource the African farmer would be unable to do without; and that when anyone requires high quality and traceable produce, they would have no choice than to Kitovu it!
