Description
Paves Vetagro is an agribusiness company that provides agricultural inputs and services to farmers.
Market Opportunity/ Problem
Agro dealers and farmers, especially pastoralist livestock owners in North-West Kenya, lack access to quality agricultural inputs and services as the region is generally inaccessible and their nomadic lifestyle. In addition, some of the farmers/pastoralists need products and services taken closer to them hence the need for satellite centers and mobile services.
