    Over the past two weeks, we've had the privilege of impacting the lives of 135 farmers during the crucial potato planting and early season period. This season, we embraced our mission with a commitment to ensure every farmer has the tools they need to thrive. Through hands-on training and support, we've integrated a narrative of precision agriculture, empowering our potato farmers with the knowledge and resources to succeed. Our field visits have been filled with inspiring stories, highlighting the necessity of making agriculture accessible to all. We believe that both digital and non-digital innovations can transform the agricultural landscape, easing the burdens faced by farmers at every stage of the value chain. As we continue to support Africa's wave of digital-savvy farmers, we're excited about the journey ahead and the positive change we can create together. If you're passionate about making a difference in agriculture, we invite you to join our field trips and be part of this transformative movement.

    We recently had the pleasure of meeting with Enock Rugut from Nakuru Tubers, and we were truly inspired by the incredible work they’re doing to empower smallholder potato farmers in Kenya. Nakuru Tubers is leading the charge in creating a transformative circular ecosystem within the potato value chain. Their commitment to sustainable change is impressive—they’ve trained over 1,200 farmers, provided high-quality seeds, and have an ambitious goal to reach 100,000 farmers by promoting climate-resilient practices. During our visit, we discovered shared perspectives and discussed integrating youth Agripreneurs to enhance service delivery and revolutionize the potato value chain. By training farmers to become digital-savvy and data-driven—through record keeping and adopting climate-smart practices—we aim to foster a lasting transformation and create local jobs to our youths in Agriculture! We’re excited about the opportunity to collaborate and support this vital initiative. Stay tuned for more updates on how we plan to join forces for the betterment of the potato value chain! #Youthempowerment #Nakurutubers #Mzizi #Africa #Potato #Agriculture #Foodsecurity #Climate

    Milestone Alert! 🚀 We’re thrilled to introduce our first farmer record-keeping booklet specifically designed for potato farmers! This handy tool will help farmers run their farms as a business to efficiently manage and track their farm’s progress and expenses. While studies show that farmers with organized recordkeeping increase their profits by up to 50%, over 72% of smallholder farmers report that lack of documentation hinders their ability to secure loans or financial assistance, limiting growth opportunities from a farm and household level. Understanding expenses and revenue is crucial for sustainable farming. With clear guidelines and easy-to-use templates, farmers can use the Mzizi Recordkeeping Booklet to monitor yields, costs, and overall productivity, allowing room to make informed decisions for a successful harvest - and get further support in integrating these insights into their Mzizi App accounts The process is simple: 1. Place your order using this link https://lnkd.in/dQBN_eK4 2. ⁠Need further assistance to adopt and use the record-keeping booklet? - there’s also a training for that. Pick your availability on the link below to get trained on the book and the importance of keeping farm records 👇 https://lnkd.in/dkenNmWW Get ready to enhance your farming practices and achieve your goals with Mzizi! #Mzizi #recordkeeping #precisionfarming #Agriculture #potato #Africa #Datadrivenagriculture #financialinclusion
