I think we're doing interesting work at Apollo Agriculture (https://apolloagriculture.com https://apolloagriculture.com)!
We work with smallholder farmers in subsaharan africa (currently Kenya) to help them transition to commercial farming. Basically, we sell them a package of the seed, fertilizer, advice, insurance, and training that they need to substantially improve their yield and profits. We're moving towards helping farmers shift to a diversified blend of crops and providing market access.
(In most of the developed world, these are all provided by different players, but the challenges of a developing market push us to offer them all together.)

- samvher 7y agoI'm interested in chatting and have emailed you earlier but never got a response. Our organisation (precisionag.org) also works in Kenya among other countries, we provide smallholder farmers with personalized agronomic advice over SMS and voice systems. We're always looking for partners and we use a lot of experimental economics to fine tune and validate our approaches. (One of our founders just won the Nobel prize for economic sciences.)
- o13nna 7y agoI'm definitely going to email you. My name is Obinna, and I have experience in automated agtech systems. I'm interested in the work and very invested in Subsaharan African agriculture.
