The memorandum of understanding (MOU) paves the way for a digital solution tailored to the unique needs of Katsina’s smallholder farmers, launching just in time for the upcoming planting season.

 

Key Features of the Digital Agriculture eWallet Platform:

  • Registration and Profile Management: Farmers can create and manage digital profiles to streamline their activities and establish provenance.
  • Payments and Access to Agricultural Inputs: The eWallet system facilitates subsidy distribution and assists farmers in building their credit scores. For instance, about 400,000 bags of fertilizer will be distributed to farmers by the state via the platform.
  • Market Linkage System: This feature connects farmers directly to markets and agribusinesses, optimizing the supply chain.
  • Value Addition System: Services integrated into the platform will enhance the quality and marketability of agricultural produce, boosting economic returns for farmers.
