Microsoft, IFC pilot small-scale farmer digital tools initiative

The partnership will leverage 4Afrika’s unique digital platforms and the IFC’s Agribusiness Leadership Programme to help small-scale farmers, their cooperatives and last mile retailers access information and tools to strengthen their farming practices, business professionalism and, ultimately, food security and traceability throughout the supply chain.
