Premium Hortus
Like many African countries, Benin has had a rapid increase in its urban population, with high demand for garden produce, such as fruits and vegetables. Large quantities of fertilizer and chemical inputs are used, and the distribution system remains very traditional, and lacking in modern agricultural technology. This causes significant water and soil pollution, biodiversity loss, and low productivity, while increasing population vulnerability to climate change, and price spikes.
PREMIUM HORTUS is an agroecology technology platform in Africa, specializing in the e-commerce of agroecological products, organic production and producer support.
