Agriculture and Agribusiness

Farmer data, traceability, and market systems for agribusinesses, cooperatives, and exporters.

Context

The reality in agriculture and agribusiness

Agribusiness in Ghana operates across dispersed smallholder networks where connectivity is poor, literacy varies, and the primary device is a basic phone. Export markets — cocoa above all, and increasingly horticulture — impose traceability and due diligence requirements, with the EU Deforestation Regulation demanding farm-level origin data that many supply chains cannot currently produce. Aggregators hold farmer relationships in field officers' heads and paper records, which makes both traceability and finance difficult.

Challenges

What we hear most often

Farm-level traceability data required by export markets but not captured at source.

Farmer records held by individual field officers on paper, lost when staff leave.

Poor connectivity and basic handsets ruling out most conventional data collection.

Input distribution and payment tracked manually across large, dispersed farmer networks.

How we help

What AITS does for agriculture and agribusiness

Farmer and traceability data systems

Farm-level data capture built for offline field conditions and basic devices, producing the origin records export compliance requires.

Aggregation and payment tracking

Systems that track input distribution, deliveries, and payments across dispersed farmer networks without depending on individual field officers.

Digital capability for field teams

Training designed for field officers and cooperative staff, pitched at the actual skill level of the people who will use the system.

A first conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies more than a proposal would. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.
