To promote #Agriculture_based_livelihoods, Grameen has been working to facilitate linkages and foster mutually beneficial relationships between Farmer Producer Organizations (#FPOs) and agri-entrepreneurs on one hand and a range of stakeholders and institutions, including buyers, suppliers, extension services, technology providers, and financial service providers, on the other. In this endeavor, Grameen Foundation India is glad to announce its partnership with AyeKart Fintech. This collaboration aims to extend Ayekart's #Ayekrishi platform (#PaaS) and market linkage services with embedded finance to FPOs and women agri-entrepreneurs connected with the Grameen Foundation in India. This initiative will significantly benefit FPOs, providing access to diverse marketable commodities and support in procurement and sales based on demand and supply conditions. Agri-entrepreneurs will benefit from increased discoverability and access to input & output markets, and enterprise/portfolio-building opportunities. Joining hands with Ayekart will assist in Grameen's mission of enabling the poor, especially women, to create a world without #poverty and #hunger.
