By addressing these needs, risks can be managed and mitigated. 3) An agric service that self-reports monitoring, evaluation, and other agricultural services to help farmers that are validated through digital solutions. The solution forecasts and estimates the yields of crops and livestock for farmers across stages in any agricultural cycle so that farmers can be better prepared for data validation for loan products.
