Africa’s leading one-stop payments and digital commerce service company, Cellulant is set to launch its new innovation for the continent’s agricultural space, Agrikore.
Speaking in an interview with Agro On Tv, Cellulant Chief of Operations Network, Mr. Sanmi Akinmusire, said Agrikore is a platform designed to power agricultural transformation across Africa.
“Basically, it is also a platform that connects everybody to everything within the agricultural sector, what we are doing with this platform is that we are improving the lot of the farmer. We are connecting the different layers of agriculture that before now have always been fragmented”, Akinmusire stated.
He explained that the platform will help an off taker to easily interact with the farmers, policy makers and other relevant stakeholders in the sector.
“This platform is not just about farmers , it’s about the off takers, the input suppliers, the financial institutions, the development organizations who wants to offer support to the farmers, it’s also about the government. It’s not something that is focused on the rural areas alone, it’s a platform for everybody within the agricultural space” he said.
He said that the platform will ensure more transparency and credibility and will encourage active participation in the sector.
He informed that the platform will be launched officially at the Feed Nigeria Summit.
“So we are excited about it and we are looking forward to it being the one stop shop for agricultural development within the country”, he added.
