Thursday, April 10, at 10 a.m.

AgroSfer is developing a SaaS platform for managing and tracking the supply of agricultural raw materials for manufacturers in the sector. The tool digitizes networks of small African agricultural producers as well as the entire supply chain, from field agents to manufacturers. Its flexibility allows various data sources (field data, satellite data, estimation algorithms, audits, and specific rules, etc.) to be combined on customized dashboards for real-time monitoring from production to aggregation and delivery.

AgroSfer also uses its technology and operational capabilities to reduce the risks associated with financing agricultural production and supply. This ambition is reflected in the local operational centers known as AgroStores, which provide local support for relations between producers and manufacturers.
