Driving Agricultural Markets With Geographic Data
The AgroXchange© is a digital profiling platform for farmers that facilitates access to market access to credit and inputs for farmers in Nigeria.AgroXchange© is premised on the principle that every farmer is a business entity and demonstrates Orbital Solutions Global Service Limited philosophy of driving business insight with geospatial data.
AgroXchange© was developed by Orbital Solutions Global Services Limited, an independent Geographic Information Systems (GIS) company domiciled in Nigeria. Orbital Solutions recognises the inefficiencies in the Nigerian agricultural value chain and its impact on cost of doing business in the farm to table supply chain. A major prerogative of farmers in Nigeria, especially small holder farmers, is profit which is guaranteed through access to market.
