TIRANA, Oct. 11/ATA/ The ubiquity, portability and mobility of digital technologies are transforming agriculture and food production. Specifically, in the agriculture and food sector, the spread of mobile technologies, remote-sensing services and distributed computing are already improving smallholders’ access to information, inputs and markets, increasing production and productivity, streamlining supply chains and reducing operational costs.
ABA Online platform harnesses the power of digital technologies to pilot, accelerate and scale innovative ideas with high potential and impact in agriculture, transforming digital solutions and services into public goods.
Fredi Llanaj, a farmer from Vlora , said that he is already a user of the digital platform and has managed to complete the first online trading agreement.
Created earlier this year as the platform of new approaches, ABA Online has empowered rural families and inspired youth entrepreneurship in agriculture. Easily accessible from any smartphone, ABA online is interactive and meets the needs of small farmers in Albania.
It was established as a project initiative of the Financial Inclusion of Small Albanian Farmers (FiAS), supported by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance and Economy. ABA online provides essential information for farmers and businesses thus influencing the value chain. //a.i/
