Krystle works in the Agriculture and Animal Care sector leading Your Equipment Suppliers (YES). The fellow is a procurement specialist for equipment in the food and agro-processing industry. The company is an MSME with a focus on micro- and small-sized agricultural entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs face problems with accessing formal financing and knowledge to start their business. YES helps them by providing options to obtain equipment, filling knowledge gaps with the company’s contacts and extensive catalog, and assisting with self-readiness through certifications. The customers do not need to be experts in machinery and logistics because the business provides expertise and aims to partner in their business development. Coming to the YLAI Fellowship, Krystle’s top business challenge is Marketing and Sales.
