Challenge
Smallholder’s livestock farmer’s main worries are; ready market, accurate industry information, or consulting a Veterinarian in real-time is a call for concern to livestock producers. Additionally, no platform exists that focuses on the farmer’s needs at the center of their model; this hinders economic and social development. There is also no easy way to bring together livestock producers, merchants & traders (middlemen), veterinary professionals, pharmaceuticals, and final consumers in a single platform.
Description
The platform is an all-in-one SMS, web, and mobile app built with 4IR technologies with ethical considerations in deployment and design.

It aims to assist daily farmer activities and sustainably connect the entire value chain for economic, social, and environmental development.
