Hear from the farmers, organizations, and stakeholders who work with us.
Maize Farmer, Nyagatare District
"Before Faminga, I struggled with unpredictable rainfall and crop diseases. Their soil sensors and weather predictions have helped me increase my maize yield by 42% in just one season. Now I can send all my children to school without worry."
Coffee Grower, Huye District
"The disease detection system saved my coffee plantation from coffee leaf rust. Faminga's marketplace connection also helped me secure premium prices by connecting directly with international buyers."
Cooperative Leader, Musanze District
"Our cooperative of 230 potato farmers has transformed since partnering with Faminga. Their IoT soil monitoring system has helped us optimize planting times and reduce losses from late blight. Our members have seen an average income increase of 53%."
