Founded in 2016, Winich Farms is an agritech platform that paves way for individuals to become active agro stakeholders. The platform aims to scale the standard of living of smallholder farmers through seed funding, sensitization and the introduction of modern farming techniques.
As most parts of Nigeria is currently on lock down after the numbers of COVID-19 infected people soared affecting residents of Lagos, Abuja and Ogun States who have followed the federal government order. Prices for goods and services tripled afterwards as residents and citizens plunged into panic shopping mood. Getting into stores to even get groceries was a big challenge, as there were long queues at major grocery stores due to Social Distancing directive as well.
