    Themed “Women entrepreneurs innovate for agricultural transformation in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific”, this year’s application is in two categories. The first category is for e-agriculture applications and platforms that have already been developed but that may still need software or business model improvements, while the second is for e-agriculture applications and platforms that are already in operation and generating revenues.
