Beschreibung

The African agricultural sector is in the process of entering international food value chains. However, scattered farming communities suffer from diverse and specific circumstances that make transportation to, and participation in value chains difficult. Across Africa, local startups have recently started to digitalize the transport sector and increase its efficiency to ultimately reduce price per kilometer. With our research, we develop online tools to help said transport
operators to assess demand structures remotely and guide them to identify the most promising area for their services. We work on a one-stop-tool to assess and cluster demand, localize vehicle stops and optimal routing to understand the economic potential.
