Agrisuites is a social network platform created exclusively for food and agricultural professionals to connect with one another, share ideas and make use of its many digital tools to improve agricultural activities.
It takes into account the fact that a large percentage of farmers do not use platforms and therefore has a feature for them to link-up using voice conversation.
Apart from simply connecting with other farmers on Agrisuites, the farmers will also have the chance to obtain information on the latest products, technologies, and other forms of useful updates through the platform.
Fabrice Abunde is the CEO of Agrisuites and Eyong Galvin serves as the chief technical officer. Ndam David and Tiemuncho Habass are the other teammates.
