Support for Technology Providers
Research in agronomy and agriculture produces new, improved technologies with the potential to increase yields, resist pests and diseases, withstand adverse climates, improve nutrition and income, and more. The TAAT e-catalogs are a powerful step on the road towards such impact:
Technology Providers are researchers or representatives of organizations that own technologies that we showcase on the e-catalogs. They own the data we publish on their technologies in the e-catalogs.
Technology Providers work with the TAAT technology Profiling team to create technology profiles that are customized to the needs of the audience of the e-catalogs:
-
- decision-makers in governments, who are responsible for the design and implementation of large-scale agricultural development projects,
- decision-makers in private sector companies, who are responsible for the integration of agricultural technologies in new or improved business plans,
- decision-makers in international finance institutions funding agricultural development, or in large international organizations such as iNGOs, responsible for designing and implementing large-scale agricultural development programs.
We provide here supporting and guiding material for Technology Providers:
- e-learning course: introduction to the e-catalogs.
- This e-learning course takes under 5 minutes to study and gives you an easy-to-follow overview of the e-catalogs and technology profiles, their objective and their audience.
- Save the file on your computer and double-click on it, it is then automated and interactive.
- Overview of the process for the creation of a new Technology Profile.
- Guide on the use of the online form.

Optimize Seed Supply with SRE! The SRE Tool is a web-based application designed to help seed actors—including governments, research institutes, seed enterprises, and NGOs—accurately forecast seed requirements for crops such as sweetpotato, cassava, and yam. It prevents mismatches between seed demand and supply, reduces waste, and enables better allocation of resources, ultimately making seed systems more efficient, profitable, and resilient.
Turning business ideas into investment-ready plans! The Business Investment Decision (BID) Tools provides a structured platform for strengthening policy-driven investment readiness and financial accountability in the agricultural sector. By supporting enterprises in building evidence-based business plans, it equips governments with reliable data to design policies that stimulate private sector growth and improve resource allocation.
Boost rice yields and save on fertilizer costs through efficient nitrogen management The technology of Deep Urea Placement offers a significant solution to the challenges of nitrogen fertilizer application in Sub-Saharan Africa's rice paddies. By drilling large urea granules or briquettes into the soil, it allows for a slow release of nitrogen into the root zone of rice crops, improving nutrient uptake, soil fertility, and crop productivity. This approach not only enhances grain yield and quality but also leads to cost savings, additional income for farmers, reduced environmental nitrogen losses, and ultimately contributes to food security and reduced dependence on food imports.
