Synergos Nigeria Partners Swiss FCE Group AG to Digitise Nigeria Agric. sector

By Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The  Country Director of Synergos Nigeria,  Mr Victor Adejoh, said the Organisation has entered into Partnership with a FCE Group AG, a Swiss blockchain company, to develop and implement a digital product to drive significant structural changes in Nigeria’s agricultural sector.

Adejo who disclosed this to the newsmen on Monday in Lokoja said the partnership is aimed at addressing the lingering food insecurity crisis in the country.

The recent changes in climate and the economy as well as projections of the nation’s population doubling by 2050, according to him, placed a focus on agriculture as a sector requiring urgent and immediate actions.

He noted that a versatile digital platform for agricultural infrastructure was required for better access and exchange of information, getting the best offers, building links with logistics, finance, insurance, and education.

The Synergos Country Director observed that smallholder farmers in Nigeria still lacked access to up-to-date market information and were unable to plan and optimize their work across value chains.

Adejoh added that Synergos Nigeria had already conducted detailed diagnostics in several states of Nigeria, coordinating the development of roadmaps for the transformation of agriculture with a range of multi-stakeholders.

He hinted that the open digital platform for the farmer’s operations culminating from the partnership with FCE Group AG would utilise a cloud platform based on Transparent Terra for digital trusted interaction of all participants in the agricultural sector.

“Digital analysis and planning will reduce the impact of farming on climate change. Comprehensive solutions will support seamless transition from linear to circular economy.”

Gregory Arzumanian, CEO of FCE Group AG,  said that the collaboration had the right focus and perspective on issues of inequality, poverty, climate change, and global migration.

“Our goal as a Swiss company is to use breakthrough in technology to restore trust, build ultimate transparency, and mitigate the agricultural and industrial impact on climate change and ultimately, support women.”

“I believe that our project will show how the right combination of technologies will make the progressive shift in the Agricultural sector, moving from development to Agribusiness with now softer mode, and avoid social and climate catastrophe”, he said.
