Boosting Crop Yield and Reducing Water Usage with Precision Agriculture
The Challenge
A leading commercial farm is facing declining profitability due to rising water costs and inconsistent crop yields across its 5,000-hectare property.
Our Solution
Fivewell Africa begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify current inefficiencies in farm practices. The analysis guides the design of a precision agriculture strategy that integrates data-driven options, mapping, and digital monitoring systems tailored to the farm’s specific conditions. The findings and recommendations are presented in two approaches; one focused on capacity building to equip the farm’s team with the necessary skills to implement solutions, and another on organizational adjustments to support long-term efficiency and decision-making.

Unlocking European Markets Through Supply Chain Optimization
The Challenge
A coffee cooperative produced high-quality beans but struggled with inefficient post-harvest processing and lacked the certifications needed to access lucrative European markets.
Our Solution
We begin with a comprehensive diagnostic; mapping the value chain, auditing post-harvest operations, and benchmarking quality against international standards. These insights are translated into targeted interventions that ensure consistent, traceable output. At the same time, we support the cooperative in achieving certification readiness by developing actionable roadmaps and internal control systems to meet international compliance requirements. Finally, we facilitate access to European markets, shaping market positioning, branding, and commercial agreements, while establishing monitoring frameworks to sustain performance improvements over time. Optimized post-harvest operations and achieved certifications enable the cooperative to reduce quality losses and raise cupping scores. Direct access to premium European buyers is expected to increase farmer incomes, while robust monitoring and control frameworks ensure sustained quality, compliance, and long-term growth.
