At Royal Milk, we are pioneering digital transformation in the dairy sector! As part of the Solar Harvest Innovation Hub Project, supported by The Innovation Village and the Mott Foundation, we are developing a Farmer Management Information System (FMIS)—a game-changer for smallholder dairy farmers. What does this system do? The FMIS records milk supply patterns, volumes, and quality, helping establish a farmer’s supply worthiness. This data will unlock access to: ? Farmer loan verifications ? Input dealers & equipment vendors ? Installment-based & subsidized farm investments A Work in Progress This is an iterative process, integrating continuous farmer feedback to ensure a user-friendly, data-driven platform. By streamlining financial inclusion and improving operational efficiency, we are empowering farmers like never before! ?? Stay tuned as we refine and roll out this transformative solution!Loise Warui Paul Zaake Geofrey Mutabazi Nuru Buruhani saleh Kigoye Robert Ddamulira, Ph.D. Robert Ssebandeke
