🌱🚜 Inputi's update from the Horticulture Market Acceleration Project (HortiMAP) in Uganda! 🍅🥦
We've been hard at work across Western, Central, and Eastern Uganda, training farmers under HortiMAP (a collaboration with TechnoServe) to boost productivity and market access for 30,000 fruit and vegetable farmers.
Inputi's hybrid approach included on-ground training sessions and an SMS campaign to enhance farmer knowledge and reinforce system usage, from placing orders to connecting with markets.
Initially, we conducted comprehensive training on the usage of the Inputi Farmer App, equipping farmers with the skills to manage their farm activities efficiently.
Subsequently, we demonstrated the functionalities of our Farmer Enterprise Management Solutions (FEMS) mapping tool. It was incredibly inspiring to witness farmers fully engaged, actively exploring the mapping features while navigating their training garden areas.
Our focus areas include:
📲 Promoting technology adoption
📈 Providing market-oriented training
📝 Offering best practices advice
🌍 Utilizing our FEMS mapping tool for efficient farm management
During our sessions, farmers learned how to leverage the FEMS system for mapping, place orders for inputs, and access expert agro-advisory services. With tools like the Inputi Farmer App, USSD Code (28468 #), and Toll-Free Line, 0800 200 119, we're ensuring farmers have the resources and support they need to thrive.
Check out these snapshots📸 from our recent trainings, where farmers are gaining valuable insights and skills to transform their agricultural practices.
