Agri-Tech
  • How are digital banking and payment solutions tailored to different countries and farm sizes, and how are emerging digital infrastructures blending with existing physical ones?
  • As data collection through digital payments helps financial institutions to assess risk more effectively, how does this impact insurance and credit accessibility at a time when farmers face rising climate and market challenges?
  • How can regional governments create an enabling environment for agri-fintech solutions to scale, and how can the private sector implement capacity-building programmes to increase their adoption?
