We partner with our digital technology subsidiary, Mezzanine, to cocreate digital solutions. We offer the following Mezzanine solutions to digitalise and transform agricultural practices:

• MYFARMWEB^TM is a cloud-based web platform allowing producers to capture key agriculture data into a system that aggregates and calibrates the information to aid decision-making. This helps increase yields while protecting the environment and reducing losses – which all save carbon in the production process. The platform allows farmers to use more productive and sustainable farm operation practices, which is becoming increasingly important
• eVuna is a product that connects small-holder farmers to information, inputs, financial services (credit, insurance), and buyers at scale.
• E-vouchering enables governments and organisations to issue safe and verifiable subsidy programmes to large and often unbanked consumer bases at scale. E-vouchers are received via SMS, require no data, and support all network operators. E-vouchers are redeemed at verified and vetted participating enterprises.
• Connected Farmer, enables smallholder farmers to access agricultural inputs, financial products, logistics suppliers, markets, and knowledge.

M-Kulima is a comprehensive, easy-to-use system for agricultural stakeholders. It facilitates communication and cooperation between farmers, government and the private sector. Agribusinesses digitally profile farmers and communicate and transact through an advisory service and mobile money payments. M-Kulima provides weather and market information to help farmers get the best price for their products. It is integrated with M-Pesa to provide a mobile-phone-based money transfer service and enable payments, with microfinancing and insurance planned.
