DESCRIPTION:Charting the emergence and impacts of digital agricultural plat
 forms in Africa\n\nwith Dr Heike Baumüller\n\nSenior Researcher and Coordi
 nator of the Program of Accompanying Research for Agricultural Innovation 
 (PARI) at the Centre for Development Research (ZEF) at the University of B
 onn\, Germany\n\nRegister & watch the webinar\n\nView poster\n\nAbstract\n
 \nDigitally-enabled services (D4Ag services) have been proliferating acros
 s Africa in recent years to offer markets for inputs and outputs\, financi
 al services or information to farmers and other agricultural actors. Howev
 er\, despite the rapid growth in local service providers\, the D4Ag servic
 es market remains fragmented and only few services have managed to scale. 
 To improve access and reach\, D4Ag services are increasingly being offered
  as part of digital platforms that combine and integrate different types o
 f services. This talk provides an overview of the D4Ag platform economy in
  Africa\, with a focus on Kenya\, Nigeria and Ghana which are at the foref
 ront of digitalization in agriculture on the continent. A number of platfo
 rm case studies will offer insights into the business models behind these 
 platforms and analyse how the business models differ from traditional plat
 form models. The talk will also shed light on the distributional effects o
 f D4Ag platforms by discussing how different supply chain actors are being
  affected by the emergence of digital agricultural platforms and how platf
 orms are impacting local markets.\n\n \n
