ICTEL: ‘How Technology Can Boost Farming In Nigeria’

By James Hughes

The founder and CEO of Farmcrowdy, Onyeka Akumah, has challenged young graduates to provide agriculture-based solutions to the 38 million farmers in the agricultural sector.Akuma made this appeal during the 2018 Information and Communication Technology and Telecommunications (ICTEL) expo organised by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) in Lagos. He insisted that young entrepreneurs can use technology to find solutions in many agricultural value chains by being more creative and impactful.According to him, young entrepreneurs need to tap into the entire agricultural value chain with different solutions that provide farmers with the necessary information on when to plant, type of seeds to use, fertiliser availability, weather forecast, and market to sell their produce.He described the expo as an avenue for showcasing businesses in the sector. “We are excited to show what we are doing and how we have impacted on 7,000 farmers in less than two years in operation,” he said.Source: dailytrust
