Technology has over the years helped the growth of many industries by bringing them online, and making it easier for work to be done. But not much have been done for the agricultural industry in Africa, as only a few entrepreneurs have built agric-focused startups.
Arthur Johnson Nwokolo has chosen to be among the few entrepreneurs creating a solution for the agriculture industry. In November 2016, he launched Farmnga, a classified ad online platform for farmers and the food and agriculture industry.
According to the founder, the startup solves the problem of hunger, food insecurity and food price hike by allowing buyers to easily locate farmers and their food product, compare prices before buying from nearby sellers.
