Our plans for usage of the grant and further development are outlined below.

agriiPrice Launch:
Successfully launch agriiPrice with core features, providing daily market prices for selected African agricultural commodities, based on data sourced by agents.

Use of Funds:
- Agent Network Setup: Establish a network of local agents who will gather and report pricing data for key commodities in various regions, ensuring accurate and localized market insights.
- Data Processing and Integration: Develop processes for validating and integrating the data collected by agents, maintaining data quality and consistency across the platform.
- User Interface Development: Design a user-friendly platform that allows users to easily access and navigate the market prices, with features for filtering data by region or commodity.

Post-Launch Expansion:
Enhance agriiPrice by expanding the agent network, covering more regions and commodities, and adding features such as basic predictive analytics.

Use of Funds:
- Agent Network Expansion: Recruit additional agents in new locations to broaden market coverage and increase the diversity of agricultural products.
 - Predictive Analytics Development: Begin building simple forecasting models based on the collected pricing data to offer users insights into potential price trends.
 - User Feedback Integration: Use user feedback to refine the platform, adding new features and improving the interface to enhance the user experience.

Strategic Impact:

Focusing on agriiPrice addresses a critical gap in market data solutions for African agriculture. By providing localized and reliable pricing information sourced by agents, the platform benefits a range of stakeholders, including:

-Farmers: Gain insights into fair market prices, helping them negotiate better deals and optimize revenue.
Traders and Exporters: Access accurate pricing data to make informed trading decisions and expand into new markets.
-Investors: Benefit from transparent market information that enables them to assess the economic potential of agricultural commodities.
-Policymakers and NGOs: Use data to develop policies and programs that support local farmers and improve food security.

The grant will accelerate the launch of agriiPrice, creating a tool that significantly enhances market transparency and empowers users to make data-driven decisions in an environment where such solutions are currently limited.
