Russian Agri-Tech Leader Launches Pilot Project in Uganda to Digitize Private Farming Operations
AgroSignal, part of the Russian fertilizer producer Uralchem Group, will hold practical testing and adaptation for a year. The project focuses on 500 hectares of soybeans and corn, key food crops in the East African country.
Target effects of the digital system's implementation:
🟠a reduction of up to 30% in the cost of purchasing materials for farming,
🟠an increase in productivity and crop yields.
The implementation of IT solutions in Uganda is carried out through local partners - agricultural consultants, who also provide primary technical support and conduct user training.
The pilot project is also aimed at adapting some of the AgroSignal services to the needs of local agricultural producers, whose solutions are important not only for Uganda, but also for Africa as a whole.
