The objective of the project is to enhance operational efficiencies and developmental impacts in the supply chains of IFC agribusiness clients (and other commercial agribusinesses) in Ethiopia through the demonstration and testing of digital agricultural technologies (AgTech). IFC is seeking to introduce AgTech solutions as a way of managing secure, resilient and sustainable crop and livestock production with large numbers of smallholder farmers often located in remote areas. Recent advances in digital technologies offer many unrealised opportunities for IFC agribusiness clients to increase efficiencies in their supply chains, engage more effectively with smallholder farmers, manage risks and lower transactions costs. Specifically, the project will support AgTech applications in the following use cases: (a) Improved traceability and better management of smallholder farming businesses - digitizing supply chains; (b) strengthened relationships with local farmers and improved smallholder productivity - digitally enhanced service delivery; and (c) more informed farm-level decision making and risk management - precision agriculture. The provision of access to AgTech innovations will increase efficiencies and transparency in a selection of supply chains drawn from: (a) Barley, (b) Livestock Feed (c) Poultry (d) Goats, (e) Honey and (f) Horticulture. By the end of the project, AgTech applications will be in operation in at least 5 of the selected supply/ distribution chains and will be engaging at least 50,000 Smallholder farmers.
