M-Farm, a mobile application targeted at farmers built by AkiraChix, a group of young, enthusiastic and innovative ladies.

The IPO48 event aimed at coming up with viable, fundable, tech businesses over a 48 hour period that took participants from ideation to (initial) execution of their ideas.

Imagine a farmer who…

  • sells his/her produce to the international market through his mobile phone.
  • gets real time price information and doesn’t have to deal with brokers
  • gets weather alerts before mother nature decides to unleash it’s fury
  • connects to the farmer next door to buy or sell together on large scale
  • finds nearest farm stores with a click of a button
  • finds help from farm experts

And a government that spends less on agricultural census

    hi, this is a briliant idea. it shows inovation and practical application on the kenyan markets. i just wish someone might create the same thing with land in kenya. buying land is a major problem due to fear of being defrauded.

    i`m a buisness man, my line of buisness is farming and this could do me a whole lot of good. how do i get this feature on my phone? and how can i share some ideas i have like what fertelizers to use, which are the best methods of growing different crops and how.

    m ideas are based on various experiments that i have tried to different products and have worked as opposed to the old methods used by most farmers.

    any feed back would be greatly appreciated. thanks
