Henry Duckworth, the co-founder and CEO of AgriDex, has a unique background that has shaped his vision for the future of cross-border payments in the agricultural industry. Growing up in Zimbabwe, Duckworth witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of currency devaluation on the country’s economy. This experience, combined with his time as a commodities trader at the trading giant Trafigura, inspired him to create AgriDex.
AgriDex aims to streamline cross-border payments for agricultural goods producers, making it easier and more efficient for farmers to receive payment for their products. By leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts, AgriDex is able to provide a secure and transparent payment platform that eliminates the need for traditional banking intermediaries.
With AgriDex, farmers can receive payment in a matter of minutes, rather than days or weeks, allowing them to reinvest in their operations and improve their livelihoods. Duckworth’s goal is to create a more equitable and sustainable agricultural supply chain by revolutionizing the way payments are made in the industry.
