Cloud Technology Empowers Ugandan Island Community

85% of Ugandans are involved in agriculture. Nassozi Berna and her husband were subsistence farmers growing casaba, banana, and some coffee and living in a small, timber-framed house on Kalangala, an island in Uganda’s Lake Victoria. Like many other farmer on Uganda's Kalangala Island, Nassozi started growing oil palm in 2012 and joined KOPGT, the Kalangala Oil Palm Growers Trust. KOPGT, which educates farmers on improved agricultural practices, recognized the need for a digital solution to meet the rising demand for palm oil. In 2017, they discovered SAP Rural Sourcing Management, a cloud-based, BTP run solution that allows them to digitally collect and manage data at every stage of the value chain. This technology has enhanced price transparency and accelerated payment for the farmers. Now, with the integration of the SAP Analytics Dashboard and SAP Business One, KOPGT can streamline operations and save valuable time, ultimately focusing on what matters most: the community they have helped build.Learn more about how SAP technology gives Ugandan farmers new hope: https://sap.to/6059TOnGX
