CoAmana

👩🌾🔧 The CoAmana digital trading platform is designed for African market hubs, and solves the market access problem for smallholder farmers, especially women. The platform reduces post-harvest loses for those farmers who are unable to sell their produce quickly and don’t have access to assets such as solar irrigation pumps. With the support of the GSMA Innovation Fund, CoAmana has introduced solar irrigation pumps, allowing farmers are able to farm all year around and become resilient to climate change impacts.
