In an exclusive interview with Faysal Axam, the visionary founder of TAP&PAY, we uncover the groundbreaking Green Card and its remarkable impact on small-scale farmers in RD Congo. Join us as we delve into the depths of this innovative solution, exploring its target market and the extraordinary advantages it brings to the agricultural landscape.
Small-scale farmers in RD Congo face numerous challenges, including limited access to finance and markets. The Farmers Card is designed to address these challenges by providing farmers with access to finance, markets, and other resources.
The Green Card is a mobile-based platform that allows farmers to access services such as credit, insurance, and market information. The platform is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, even to farmers with limited technical knowledge.
One of the key advantages of the Green Card is its ability to connect farmers with buyers and markets. The platform provides farmers with real-time market information, allowing them to make informed decisions about what to grow and where to sell their products. This helps farmers to maximize their profits and improve their livelihoods.
The Green Card also provides farmers with access to credit and insurance , which are critical for small-scale farmers who often lack collateral and other traditional requirements for obtaining finance. The platform uses alternative data sources, such as farmers’ mobile phone usage and payment history, to determine creditworthiness and provide financial services to farmers who would otherwise be excluded from the formal financial system.
In conclusion, the Green Card is an innovative solution that addresses the challenges faced by small-scale farmers in RD Congo. By providing farmers with access to finance, markets, and other resources, the platform is helping to improve the livelihoods of farmers and contribute to economic development in the region.
