International Food and Agribusiness Management Review, 2014, vol. 17, issue B, 7

Abstract: Novus International is committed to supporting animal agriculture in Africa with a multi-step strategy: the delivery of reliable nutritional solutions, attending to the needs of small farmers, and providing technical instruction and educational opportunities. NENO Information Communication Technology (ICT) was first introduced into East Africa in 2012 to enable mobile phone communications with customers for the purpose of training and awareness. Farmers using NENO get knowledge and advice in practical, user-friendly ways that are accessible to them at all times. After a successful pilot project launch in East Africa, Novus plans to extend the pilot to Nigeria
