In May 2022, Ivoire Coton launched a digitalization project aimed at:
- Using digital technology to monitor agricultural operations;
- Improving communication between Ivoire Coton advisers and cotton farmers;
- And keeping a traceability of the cotton production.
An application named Digit Agri has been designed for this purpose and should be used by all the agricultural advisers as of the 2023/2024 campaign.
The digitalization project is partly supported by the Cotton4Impact project, implemented within the framework of the Sub-Saharan Cotton Initiative (SSCI) of the GIZ (German Cooperation).
Cotton4Impact has been implemented since November 01, 2021 by a consortium comprising Paul Reinhart (Switzerland), Alliance Ginneries Limited (Zambia and Tanzania) and Ivoire Coton (Ivory Coast).
