Making Mechanization Services Accessible in Ethiopia.
My name is Begashaw Meberate, the CEO and Founder of Bfarm-Tech. I am an agripreneur by passion and an agriculture expert by profession, graduated with a master's degree in Rural Development Management with more than 15 years of experience in the Ethiopian agriculture sector, with a burning desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of small-scale farmers through digitizing existing agricultural practices and services. The defining moment I became an agripreneur was after I observed farmers in my province were threshing crops with animal feet, which caused a lack of agro-mechanization services. Consequently, I applied to the Tony Elumelu Foundation entrepreneurship program, where I received business skill training and a $5,000 grant to help me launch my company. Bfarm-Tech has a multidisciplinary team from agriculture, business management, marketing, ICT, finance, mechanization engineering, and digital technology.
