Agronnect connects farmers with top agronomists, offering affordable consultations that improve harvest quality and quantity with minimal environment impact
About
Because agronomic knowledge is unevenly distributed among countries around the world, our aim has always been to connect countries with advanced agricultural production and agronomic knowledge to countries where agriculture is underdeveloped, and agricultural specialists are in high demand. We wanted to make the field knowledge accessible to overlooked markets. That's why we created Agronnect, a lively hub for farmers and agronomists. We make it possible to do amazing exchanges of insights, the rise of sustainable practices, and the growth of a vibrant agricultural community. Our platform is a trusted space where knowledge and expertise come together, fostering a future where agriculture flourishes through collaboration.
Our entry barriers remain the founding team's domain expertise (over ten years in agricultural consultancy) and a large network of individuals and companies in the sector. The founding team ran and operated the largest agricultural consulting and management company in the Caucasus region, managing over 70,000 hectares of land. This gave us a unique opportunity to observe processes from various perspectives.
Key Benefits
We help farmers increase their production quality and quantity by connecting them with top consultants. This leads to higher earnings and stronger rural communities. But that's not all. Farmers not only boost their yields but also reduce the amount of inputs needed. By working with specialists, they can prevent problems instead of dealing with them after they occur. This proactive approach reduces pesticide use, making farming more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
According to the FAO, countries like the Netherlands, Spain, France, and Israel produce three times more crops per year than countries with less agricultural knowledge. Our goal is to bridge this gap by providing farmers in Moldova, Armenia, Slovakia, and Georgia access to top experts at an affordable cost. This opportunity is unique, and we are excited about its potential impact on farmers' lives. At the same time, Agronnect allows consultants from Ukraine, Portugal, and Turkey to monetize their expertise and earn extra income without needing to travel.
Applications
We connect countries with rich agronomy experience and knowledge to those without, making agricultural knowledge accessible to overlooked markets. Therefore, our potential customers are farmers in countries with a lack of highly experienced independent consultants and knowledge, resulting in poor harvest quality and quantity. These countries include Moldova, Poland, Georgia, Ukraine, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Morocco, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates, Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay.
This market has nearly 300 million farms, and our primary target is farmers with areas ranging from 5 to 30 hectares. They are large enough to consider their farm a business but small enough to hire international specialists. We plan to onboard 1.3 million farmers between 2024 and 2029 and For a fee, provide them access to high-level professionals from around the world.
Our target markets for specialists include France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Finland, South Africa, Israel, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, the United States, and Canada. We are looking for highly skilled professionals with extensive experience who want to monetize their expertise by consulting online.
