The vision Agribusiness Farm ltd is honored to announce 16th National agriculture show to be held from 20th to 29th july 2023 at Mulindi / Gasabo Show Ground

The first day in 16th  Agrishow was the launching day. The day on which the minister of Finance in Rwanda NDAGIJIMANA Uzziel together with another minister from Zimbabwe where they took a tour around different stands randomly.

On our stand we have received many people that have got a chance to ask their challenging questions that we are also glad to share with you and provide respective answers for each.

  • How is semen distribution over drones is efficient?
  • How is the distribution structure of the drone system?
  • How do you get connected with Zipline?
  • How can an unskilled farmer access the Artificial Insemination?

Let’s go for the answers now as we have now seen the most common questions:

  • The use of Drones in semen distribution is an efficient method not only that it is environmental friendly but it also saves time as drones are fast and able to cover the whole country in the sufficient number within a single trip. In VAF we have had an arrangement with the Zipline management and we have agreed to work together in semen distribution.

  • Actually, the distribution structure starts at the veterinary requesting the semen this is where s/he has to send a message to our headquarter member in charge NDAYAMBAJE Alexis (Tel 0788 898 621) or our veterinary in charge MANIRAGUHA Bosco (Tel 0787 899 643). The message must contain the following relevant information: Name of the farm owner, telephone number of the farmer, Address of the farm, Amount(dose), Address of the center at which the package containing the dose, name of the veterinary, telephone number of the veterinary. The message is the forwarded to the Zipline management. At this stage the order is then prepared and loaded into the drones and then its ready to be delivered to respective center as stated in the message. The veterinary is then sent a message to confirm the delivery of the order.
  • Our connection with Zipline over telephone line and via WhatsApp. We forward the messages from veterinaries from all around the country to the marketing manager of Zipline and the orders are then prepared for departure.
  • Not only the skilled farmers about Artificial Insemination can practice Artificial Insemination but also the unskilled farmers are also able to practice it according to our plan. We have also set some means to help them too. This is the method of using the veterinaries found in all sectors. We have arranged to use the veterinaries to create orders and to pick the delivered ones to the farms and are also in charge of performing the Artificial Insemination
