These 3 Indonesian agritech solutions are the winners of Cultivhacktion

Cultivhacktion, a hackathon for agritech solutions in Indonesia, has named the three digital platforms as its winners.

Supported by the country’s Ministry of Agriculture and the West Java Provincial Government, the agritech hackathon was held as a result of a partnership between TaniHub Group, World Bank Group, and Microsoft.

The three organisations and their partners will continue to provide supports to the winning teams, together with partners of the programme, including GIZ, Plug and Play, FAO, Bogor Insitute of Agriculture (IPB), Data Science Indonesia, GrowAsia, Planet, and MDI Ventures.

The following is a list of the three winning teams and the solutions they build:

1. Teman Pasar by Teman Pasar team

Teman Pasar is a platform that enables customers to buy groceries in the nearest traditional wet markets in Indonesia. They aim to solve the problem faced by traditional wet markets in the country, where the number of sellers are experiencing an eight per cent decline every year due to decreasing customers. By checking a list of product catalogue, customers are able to purchase goods the way they do in typical online marketplaces.
