This often leads to time consuming and costly variations in quality, price fluctuations, long delivery times, broken promises and commitments, and unethical dealings and business practices. Green Agro Solution PLC, established in 2013 with the vision of providing inclusive service to small holder farmers, is currently promoting a One Stop Farming Solution center where small holder farmers can access mechanization services, farm inputs, farm credit service, and financial literacy in one center.\u00a0This center\u00a0is the first of its kind in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #000000;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Your products and services: \u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since 2013, with a team of 16 passionate young people, GAS served more than 14,855 small holder farmers and helped them to harvest a better yield through providing efficient farming service. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #000000;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Your success factors<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We love what we do and all the team members are passionate about innovative agriculture &#8211; that&#8217;s where our success factor. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #000000;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Your business model (how do you make money?);<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We charge a fair fee when service and inputs are offered to small holder farmers and commercial farmers. Collaborating with MFI&#8217;s young and women farmers pay 40% upfront when they use mechanization service and farm inputs. Then the remaining 60% will be paid up on harvesting which resulted more youth and women to engage in agriculture. This innovative approach helped us to build good relationship with our customers and also secure a harvesting market.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Partnering with Arsi University (a local public university), we are creating awareness on financial literacy to improve small holder farmers\u2019 awareness on post harvesting loss, market and basic bookkeeping concepts so that they can make better decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #000000;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>A few words about your competitors;<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our competitors are individuals and farmer unions who own mechanization service\u00a0but they don&#8217;t\u00a0provide such\u00a0an inclusive\u00a0service like we do. The one stop farming solution center is making farming easy for small holder farmers and also increased their productivity across time. We look forward to replicate the center in other parts of the country and become a reliable partner for small holder farmers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #000000;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>To learn more about you (website, twitter, video presentation &#8230;)<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">www.greenagrosolution.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">www.facebook.com\/greenagrosolution<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>: The majority of Ethiopian small holder farmers interact with multiple agro service providers for different goods and services.
