DOB Equity has invested in MazaoHub Precision Agriculture. The Tanzanian agritech company seeks to transform smallholder farm productivity through precision farming using a hybrid of hands on agronomic support blended with technology.
MazaoHub offers soil testing, specialised agronomy services, input distribution and market links to aggregators. The approach supports climate-smart practices, higher yields and the use of organic fertiliser, with the aim of improving farmer incomes.
Anne Ngugi, senior investment manager at DOB Equity, commented: “MazaoHub is tooling farmers to weather the effects of climate change through precision farming. It has taken an ecosystem approach to ensure that smallholder farmers are able to contribute to food security while producing sustainably and profitably.”
