Meeting the young agri-preneurs changing Africa
Description
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to sit down with three young agri-preneurs who are enacting real change in Africa on World Youth Day during the 2025 CGIAR Science Week.
Priscilla Wakarera is the CEO of Rhea. Rhea is a soil health management company that provides farmers with precise nutritional data and tailored recommendations. Allan C’oredo is the Founder and CEO of FarmIT. FarmIT offers precision farm advisory services and market linkages to smallholder vegetable farmers in Kenya. Josephine Adeti is the Co-founder and CTO of Radava Mercantile. Radava Mercantile provides smallholder farmers with market linkages, warehouses, and farmer-tailored credit facilities to help prevent post-harvest losses.
In this episode, Josephine, Allan, and Priscilla share their passion for supporting smallholder farmers through enhanced tech integration and insights and how their unique projects contribute to reductions in post-harvest loss, increased soil health, and greater connection between smallholder farmers across the continent.
