Did you know that in the past decade over 15 million farmers have been insured globally and received over $40M in payouts as part of PULA's efforts? The agricultural insurance and technology company was founded by Rose Goslinga and Thomas Njeru in 2015 to provide crop and livestock coverage for smallholder farmers. In this interview with Yewande "Wandie" Kazeem for Wandieville, Rose explains how PULA works towards financial inclusion in Africa (they have now expanded to Latin America and beyond) and how they've tailored their operations to match the client base. Through the use of satellite imaging to reduce in-person assessments and bundled coverage with loans or farming products, PULA is the perfect example of how companies can sustainably produce both impact and profits. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/epzaUmt9 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eUX9bbsK 🔔 I’m Cytandra G.

Thank you, Livestock247! We are proud to partner with you in support of optimization and digitalization of the livestock sector in #Nigeria! Sukirti Vinayak Ajibola Samson Oluwasegun Dr. Michael Enahoro and the rest of our partners in this groundbreaking partnership
At livestock247, we are the foremost leader in animal identification and management system in Nigeria which is at the core of quality record keeping and data management practices. In unlocking the growth in the Nigeria livestock industry i.e to become globally competitive, data management can not be overemphasized. Let's look at some key points that highlight the significance of record and data management in optimizing livestock operations: 1. Enhanced Decision-Making since quality record-keeping allows farmers to track crucial data such as animal health, breeding cycles, feed consumption, and production outputs. 2. Improved animal health management by keeping detailed records of vaccinations, treatments, and health history enables farmers to monitor the health status of their livestock effectively. This is crucial to early disease detection and prevention. 3. Record management plays a pivotal role in efficient breeding programs by tracking genetic information, lineage, and breeding outcomes. With accurate data, farmers can make strategic breeding decisions to enhance desirable traits and genetic diversity in their livestock. 4. By analyzing production data and consumption patterns, farmers can optimize resource allocation, including feed, water, and medication. They are also able to perform business forecast. This leads to reduced wastage, improved resource efficiency, and cost savings which are vital to sustainable agriculture. 5. Maintaining comprehensive records is essential for meeting regulatory requirements and ensuring traceability in the livestock supply chain. Proper documentation instills trust among stakeholders and facilitates compliance with industry standards. 6. Embracing digital tools and software for record and data management can streamline operations, improve accuracy, and provide real-time insights into livestock performance. This integration of technology accelerates the transition towards modern and efficient farming practices. Livestock247 role has been pivotal in ushering in a new era of efficiency and productivity trough its animal identification and management system. This has been deployed to several Nigerian states and used to facilitate several projects ushering in a new era of efficiency and productivity. This also opens the livestock industry to different investments such as local insurance, private equity, Foreign direct investments and many more. Livestock247 is at the cutting edge of technology integration and adaptation to the Livestock value chain. This distinctive competence can supercharge optimization of the livestock industry in Nigeria. We are available to offer this service to NGOs, Private ranchers, butcheries, state government and ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of government.
