Agriculture is very important in today’s world as without agriculture there will be no food in the world. However, there is an increasing global demand on agricultural products. This rising demand has birthed challenges in terms of the delivery of sustainable, profitable and high-quality crops. These, as well as the increased caloric demand globally, is placing the agriculture ecosystem in a confined space. Other challenges being faced by the agricultural industry globally include;
• Regulatory requirements that make it difficult for farmers and other agricultural market participants to flexibly comply
• Crop growers are having difficulties producing high-yield and high-quality products which will give them a competitive edge
• Rising utility costs in tandem with increasing food demand
• Farmers being “price takers” than “price setters” even though they do the most work.
• Product differentiation and branding by farmers in order to differentiate their products and make them edgy
• Environmental issues due to water drought and increased electricity.
• Expensive, indirect operational cost from crop safety testing.
In general, food demands are becoming increasingly sophisticated and as such, farmers are stepping up by turning to technology. It is believed that technology will aid in alleviating the globally increased food demands. Farms are sourcing out new ways to collect data for analysis of crop yields, soil profiles, weather, climate, etc., which will aid in enhancing the quality of food products produced. To this end, the already existing Pavo, whose product is in deployment with customers in various farms in California, USA, provides an IoT software platform for use in industrial agriculture.
The Pavo marketplace is a web and mobile app agriculture trading platform where consumers, families, distributors, local restaurants and grocers can directly and transparently connect with farms so as to buy food and other agricultural products with assurance on their source and maturity. Pavo is significantly efficient in its operations, and it employs blockchain technology in ensuring transparency in the process of crop production from seed to harvest to consumption. The PavoCoin will be issued and proceeds will be used to further develop the Pavo product and the market.
To further develop the agriculture ecosystem around the world, Pavo has implemented a fee-based hardware and software platform for growers, and a cryptocurrency for the agriculture sphere. The fee-based hardware and software platform will help increase yield, quality and transparency of farm products, create product differentiation, and maintain regulatory compliance, while the cryptocurrency will be used for secure, safe and trusted payments. Note that, Pavo is, at the moment, focused on high value crops in the USA that range from tree nuts to white asparagus, and from heirloom tomatoes to specialty mushrooms. Gradually, Pavo will expand into other agric products and the rest of the world. I, urge you to visit the website https://pavocoin.com/ or whitepaper https://pavocoin.com/doc/.pdf for more details on the Pavo project.
SOME BENEFITS OF PAVO

• The Pavo marketplace addresses issues peculiar to small and medium sized farmers such as lack of access to a full range of financial services.
• Pavo, in employing blockchain technology and IoT, will enable farmers of various farm sizes to deliver top quality products so as to keep them in business and consequently meet the worlds increasing food demands.
• Pavo is a software solution that helps with compliance from seed to market
• Pavo is a solution that helps farmers better manage the cost of labour, water, electricity, supplies.
• Pavo is a way for farmers to better track their products and test results as well as improve their branding
