eFarmersHub
Bangladesh
The e-Farmers’ Hub is a mobile app based digital platform. The idea of eFH (eFarmersHub) is to create a center point for aggregation of the agricultural produce of the smallholder and community farmers in different areas. This facilitates the provision of support and assistance to various actors across the stages of the entire value chain - improving productivity, ensuring fair prices, creating employment opportunities and increasing income levels. eFH (eFarmersHub) helps better Farmers' Hub management by facilitating digital data entry and reporting in real-time - leading to faster and better decisions. SMS messages can be sent to farmers for crop management advice and market information. Syngenta Foundation retailers are required to enter information on a daily basis, generating a lot of data.
