“As a livestock and agricultural farmer, I use mAgri to manage and run my business. The platform gives me access to everything I need including a marketplace. I really appreciate the alerts. A few years ago there were floods, but through mAgri I learned beforehand, giving me a sense of when they were going to start and end, and was able to prepare. I also use mAgri to engage with fellow farmers making my work easier. With mAgri I do not have to travel great distances to access the crucial services I need.”
