Catalysing actionable knowledge to enhance next-generation ACP agribusiness through digitalisation

Drones, satellite images, advisory services, market access platforms, financial services….over the past few years, digitalisation has been applied to agribusiness through many initiatives, projects, activities being developed, piloted, tested and tried in ACP countries.

But what really works? What are the main outcomes that digitalisation can bring to agribusiness and agriculture more widely? And most of all, to what extent can innovative digital solutions improve the performance, competitiveness, and profitability of farmer-led businesses and agri-small and medium sized enterprises (SME) in ACP countries?

To answer these questions, CTA held a three-day workshop (16-18 October 2018) with partners and staff, to assess activities in this area, looking for lessons and opportunities to scale up.
