Tingo Group (NASDAQ: TIO), a profitable and fast growing fintech, agri-fintech, food and commodity trading company, today announced that it has executed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Technology Board (“KPITB”) to launch the company’s business and service offerings into Pakistan. KPITB is a governmental body established in the province of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, for the promotion of information technology for the public and private sector. “As we look to introduce and replicate our successful business model in new geographical markets and accelerate growth, we are delighted to have this opportunity to establish a dominant position in the fifth most populous country in the world and one of the largest agricultural markets.
Moreover, we are honored to have the KPITB and government of Pakistan as a strategic partner in this remarkable opportunity,” said Dozy Mmobuosi, interim co-chief executive officer of Tingo Group. “The MOU allows us to roll out all of the main areas of our existing ecosystem in Pakistan including our fintech, agri-fintech and marketplace platforms such as Nwassa and TingoPay, as well as our food processing business and commodity trading and export business. Similar to Nigeria when we launched Nwassa there in 2020, Pakistan’s productivity levels in agriculture are relatively low and post-harvest losses are high despite the large percentage of its sizeable population being employed in the sector. These conditions, combined with the superior communications and logistics infrastructures compared to Nigeria, provide us with considerable scope to further deliver upon our mission goals and objectives of increasing food production levels and tackling the world’s food security crisis.”
