In 2022, Leon and his business partner founded their company with the ambitious goal of revolutionizing African agriculture. They are committed to solving farmers' most pressing challenges. Their central strategy is to launch an app that gives farmers access to the market and valuable information. The app is an expression of Herves' innovative approach. It provides real-time market data and keeps farmers informed of current prices and trends. It also serves as an important platform to connect farmers directly with potential buyers and bypass exploitative middlemen.
To reach remote and unconnected farming communities, Herve's team has integrated USSD technology into the app. This allows farmers without smartphones or internet access to use the app's features via a simple and easily accessible code. This makes the app accessible to a broader population. Beyond the app, Herve and Leon have other ambitious plans to expand their impact. Over the next 2 years, Herve plans to introduce a standardized classification system that will guarantee product quality and build trust between farmers and buyers. This important innovation will strengthen the trust of both parties and improve the entire agricultural ecosystem.
Herve plans to expand into 3 more African countries in the next 5 years. Herve and his business partner are aware of the difficulties on their way and therefore seek BPN's support.
