Digital wallet concept can boost farming | The New Times | Rwanda
IBM Research Africa partnered with Hello Tractor, a mobile platform to enable farmers hire tractors on demand, to develop an agriculture digital wallet and decision-making platform that provides demand and supply visibility for farmers, tractor fleet operators and banks to give farmers the equipment and technology they need to build a sustainable farming enterprise.
To achieve their objectives, Hello Tractor turned to IBM’s research lab in Nairobi, Kenya. Scientists at the lab started to work with Hello Tractor’s developers to apply several technologies, including AI, Blockchain, IoT and cloud, to bring new services to the app for tractor owners and dealers, farmers and banks.
