So simple and cost effective that everyone can use it.

testimonials ABOUT OUR SOLUTION

“Our farmers have been very supportive in our initiatives to introduce AgUnity projects. They are eager and looking forward to it. Most problems that our farmers face are related to lack of access to electricity and communication networks. These are major issues but we will work within what we have.

I can say that our work with AgUnity is indeed opening some understanding with our farmers and hope we can launch trials and be able to implement our project this year.”

Keypad Rakop

Madang Cocoa Limited

"AgUnity enables farmers to digitally track transactions through QR codes stored on a distributed ledger, designed to improve trust within agri-value chains, and between farmers and farmer cooperatives in particular."

Digital Financial Services for Agriculture Publication
International Finance Cooperation & Mastercard Foundation

"AgUnity provide unique identities for farmers on their platforms and register individual transactions. This allows farmers to work in an atmosphere of trust with farmer cooperatives while also developing a ‘bankable’ transaction record that is immutable and can be made accessible to financial institutions with the farmer’s permission."

"The AgUnity App is a simple mobile service that helps small farmers plan, trade and track everyday transactions. This is a way for farmers to cooperate, store value, save money and easily buy products and services."

AgUnity was a good partner in this exploration. They introduced our team to Agile practices that allowed us to iterate quickly to a solution. They delivered on time and within budget, and the MVP solution contained several features we had not envisioned in our early discussions. We were able to start deployment by the end of 2021, as planned. AgUnity was professional and proactive throughout the engagement, and based on the success of the MVP, we have contracted them to deliver the next release of FairInsight.

“It has been a pleasure working with AgUnity. AgUnity’s field missions were carried out in way that exemplified human-centered design at its best as the team lived with its users (farmers), designing AgUnity’s solution together."

"It can help me to communicate with other farmers, and what we need to do to cooperate together. I can use this phone to track price per kilo and save much time than walking to the market. This solution would help me a lot."

“Impressed by the strategic vision and nimble agility of the AgUnity team, especially over the last couple of months as they make monumental decisions which we believe will lead to massive social impact & great financial returns.”
