This report provides a review of the factors behind successful deployment of information and mobile technologies to improve agribusiness productivity and investment readiness.

The report helps investors identify the different types of value-added services that can be made available to smallholder farmers and agribusinesses in order to inform investment decisions and maximise impact and returns.

The report recommends that investors and donors consider investing in agribusinesses linked to agriculture-value-added services (agri-VAS), as well as in agri-VAS themselves. It highlights that COVID-19 provides an investment opportunity for investors to support the scale up of successful and impactful agri-VAS.
