challenges to be solved

  • We had spent a lot of time making the research and we have find that, in Rwanda there is some agriculture challenges like:

​

  • Limited access to market which affect farmer’s ability to sell their product on favorable price as they face difficulties to get potential buyer due to their remote location or lack of infrastructure
  • over exploitation of farmer and customers by middle person as individual farmer may struggle to negotiate fair price this leads to poverty and financial instability of farmers
  • Limited investors in agriculture sector as investor view agriculture sector as high risk sector
  • Limited access to quality seeds and input that hinder adoption of modern technology
  • Limited use of technology in marketing agriculture product this limit farmer harvest to reach broader audience
  • Lack of information by farmer to diverse market price making them vulnerable to exploited by middle person
