Deployment
How HARA creates jobs for anyone with a mobile phone
This month we hit a milestone by reaching over 10.000 farmers and adding their data to the HARA Ecosystem. At HARA, we are very grateful for our dedicated field agents that have already reached out to so many smallholder farmers and helped them onboard our platform. Field Agents are our bridge to the farmers in the field, and going forward we will need a growing number of dedicated agents helping out our farming communities.
