Communications Intern

Remote Internship

The farm-to-market system is incredibly inefficient. Every year, small farmers around the world lose an estimated $300B in potential value between intermediaries and harvested crops that never make it to market. To unlock this trapped value, we developed Agromovil, a global app-based platform that enables small farmers to quickly post goods for sale, directly negotiate with buyers, and increases market visibility for everyone in the ecosystem – getting products to market more efficiently and profitably around the world.
 
As an international tech start-up, Agromovil is an exciting team to join. We embrace Agromovil’s social purpose and place small farmers at the center of everything that we do. Based in Washington, DC, Agromovil is currently operating in Colombia & Tanzania and is expanding throughout Africa and Latin America this year.
 
With this expansion, Agromovil is seeking a bright, self-motivated Communications Intern who is looking for an opportunity to make a difference in the world. Through this internship, you will have a real impact on small agriculture – empowering farmers and their communities, and reducing food insecurity and waste.
