Mozaer3 provides a chance for Mozare3 the agri-fintech platform to make it’s supply-side more efficient by providing agronomy support, innovative financial products, and market access. Contract farmers are best placed to fulfill growing consumer, processing, and export demand.

Mozare3 was founded in 2020 by Tamer El-Raghy and Hussein Abou Bakr with the support of Mohamed Okasha, one of its existing investors.
