„They made a services out of hermetic bags and combined it with financing. As agile startup they tested their solution rapidly in East and West Africa and develop machine learning solutions for aflatoxin. If they get this right there is a huge market ready for disruption.“
„I know Wolfgang and Saving Grains well. They are really driven to find the fix for the grain value chain and reach millions. They excessively tested their ideas and MVPs with smallholders, traders and the industry and continue to iterate over and over… I am certain they will nail it.“
„I got extra money because I sold grain to my aggregator. This helps me a lot because fertilizer got really expensive. I will only sell to her [his aggregator] after I harvest.“
„Innovative solutions for post-harvest losses are not just big impact but can also be big business. That is exactly what Saving Grains is doing. They developed out of the World Food Programme Accelerator to use the power of social business to scale rapidly.“
„I love how the hermetic bags maintain quality without insect attack. Good quality and the credit make for good profits. It is a privelege to share those profits with farmers and see the smile on their faces!“
„Saving Grains is a lighthouse project for smallholder farmers and shows how digital innovation can create real impact through sustainable and social value chains.“
„The loan helped me to buy more goods & increase profit.“
