There are about 33 million small-sized farms in Africa, which contribute up to 70% of the food supply on the African continent. The outbreak of COVID-19 has had an impact on the operation and production of these farms, and has also aggravated the necessity of improving agricultural development through technology. Digital Farming Platform (DFP) was founded by a South African company called “Fourth Wave Technology (FWT)”, which mainly aims to develop and utilize advanced technologies to solve business and socio-economic challenges. DFP is a customized mobile application that provides farmers with the information they need about their farm operations and development, including: Disease control, integrated pest management, soil management, crop analysis, historical yield analysis and forecasting, weather patterns, pricing, digital ecosystem, supply chain and demand planning, market marketing. One of the main advantages of DFP is to prevent postharvest loss and waste. Because post-harvest losses in sub-Saharan Africa are estimated at 37 percent due, inter alia, to lack of market information, even a 1 percent reduction in food losses could bring economic gains of 40 million US dollars per year. Another attractive aspect of DFP is the low cost of mobile applications. Subscriptions can be as low as 1 to 5 US dollars per farmer per month, or even per quarter, depending on the type of plan they sign up for. By working with the government, public welfare agencies and food processing companies, subsidies can reduce the final cost to farmers to zero.
