Around 2,000 farmers in two districts of Bangladesh are coming under the e-Agro service of Grameen Intel Social Business Ltd. by the current year, as the company has signed an agreement with HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation Bangladesh, a member-based non-profit association.

The farmers in 10 upazillas of Gaibandha and Jamalpur districts would be served with GISB’s agriculture software to ensure optimum fertilizer application, using soil testing kit through 20 Service Provider Associations, according to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The MoU was signed by Pavel Hoq, Chief Operating Officer of Grameen Intel and Kasper Grossenbacher, Country Director of HELVETAS at GISB’s headquarter in Dhaka, on January 25, 2016.

HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation started working in Bangladesh in 2000, while the organization has operations in more than 30 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
