Agritech Firm Launches Jinja Apps To Connect Buyers, Sellers

Isidore Agritech Limited has launched an agric platform, Jinja Apps, that connects buyers and sellers of agro commodities, extension services, and financing, by leveraging advanced technology.

Speaking at the virtual launch of Jinja Apps recently  in Lagos, Pamela Adie, vice-president, of business development, noted that Jinja is enabling access to a grid value chain more conveniently.

“Jinja is more than just a digital marketplace.

According to Adie, the company wants to improve the quality of life of their farmers and aggregators, so they can buy insurance, get access to financing, and earn a share of our profits on every single transaction.

Also speaking, Valentine Eke, the product manager at Isidore, elaborated that Jinja features a user-friendly interface that allows farmers, aggregators, and businesses to easily navigate and meet their agric needs.
