In a dynamic world where technology is shaping the future of industries, an incredible transformation is about to take place. On August 7, 2023, at the heart of the farming community in Migori County, Fairways Green Markets Limited, in partnership with LITES, is set to launch a trio of groundbreaking platforms that will revolutionize the way we access fresh, quality produce and empower farmers across Kenya.
Empowering Farmers through Innovation:
The anticipation is building as the launch of Kilimo App, Kilimo Fikisha, and Rukisha approaches. These interconnected platforms form a robust ecosystem designed to uplift rural farmers from agri-poverty. The Kilimo App serves as a direct channel for farmers to showcase their produce to a wider audience, transcending geographical boundaries and opening new avenues for economic growth.
Quality Assurance and Convenience:
Amidst the excitement, the launch of Kilimo App and its counterparts brings a solution to one of the prevailing concerns in urban areas - the uncertainty surrounding food quality and safety. This comprehensive platform ensures that the produce is of the highest quality and grown through ethical practices. Urban consumers can now enjoy fresh and safe food, all while supporting local farmers and contributing to a sustainable ecosystem.
Kilimo Fikisha: Delivering a Bright Future:
Adding to the excitement, Kilimo Fikisha, the innovative last-mile delivery system linked to the Kilimo platform, will be unveiled on August 7th. This game-changing solution ensures that once a customer completes an order, a boda boda is automatically alerted to pick up and deliver the goods. The launch of this efficient logistics solution not only ensures timely deliveries but also provides income opportunities for local riders.
Introducing Rukisha: Access to Payment and Credit:
But that's not all! The launch event will also introduce Rukisha, a pioneering payment and credit platform aimed at providing convenient financial services to farmers for their agribusiness. This holistic approach recognizes that access to finance is essential for agricultural development and economic empowerment.
