Disrupt Africa has released the third, and final, episode of its three-part podcast series zeroing in on the state of Africa’s agri-tech space, looking at trends, opportunities and challenges within the vital sector.
Disrupt Podcast has released a number of focused series in the last couple of years, including ones on venture capital and e-commerce, while it also produces the regular “The month in VC” series.
Its latest focus is on agri-tech in Africa, looking at the startups that are making waves in the space, what they have achieved so far, and what opportunities and challenges they face going forward. The series looks at how innovation in agriculture is so pivotal on the continent, and discusses initiatives and funders that are backing the development of Africa’s agri-tech ecosystem.
The series, all episodes of which are available below, is released in partnership with South African agri-tech company IQ Logistica. IQ Logistica brings the ecosystem closer to the farmer and their partners by directly linking them with each other, along with IQ Logistica’s growing suite of products and services including Farmers Friend, Agnovate Insurance, the Farmer Finance Desk and Guano Plus. The result is a frictionless environment to monitor, mitigate risk and create more profitable farmers in a digital environment.
David Jeromin and Wade Breytenbach from IQ Logistica are participants in the series.
