ABOUT AGRO WOMEN

What reasons led to our project?

– The agricultural sector frequently encounters challenging situations such as worldwide events and especially the Covid-19 pandemic.These difficulties have once again emphasized the importance of agricultural production.However, during this process we realized that keeping up with digital transformation has been a challenge for women farmers and their cooperatives.

At this point, the focus of our project is to ensure that women farmers are actively involved in sustainable production and to help them benefit from the advantages of e-commerce in this process.

– The primary reason for our project is to understand the difficulties faced by women farmers and to help them overcome these difficulties.
