According to the company, the platform is intended to improve service delivery, reduce fragmentation across agricultural value chains and enable access to credit, inputs, markets and government services through a secure and interoperable digital framework.
The AI-based advisory system is designed to provide personalised and local-language agricultural insights.
Commenting on the development, Suresh Sethi, Managing Director and CEO of Protean eGov Technologies, said the initiative reflects the application of India’s experience in digital public infrastructure to global contexts, particularly in agriculture.
Gopa Kumar T.N., CEO of Protean International DMCC, said the project draws on the company’s experience in building population-scale digital platforms in India and aligns with broader efforts to support DPI-led development models in partner countries.
