Problem: how to distribute agro-input subsidies to poor rural farmers in emerging markets, where mobile coverage is inconsistent & ≥60% of paper vouchers are lost due to fraud & waste. Why should you care? Because it means lost opportunities for agrobiz firms. Plus access to ag-inputs drives output & ultimately growth of rural incomes, which means billions in buying power for other G&S. Enter Consult Hyperion with its innovative, scalable TAP electronic voucher scheme that makes use of contactless cards supplied to farmers & NFC-enabled Nexus 7 tablets at strategic distribution points.
