Support for Technology Providers
Research in agronomy and agriculture produces new, improved technologies with the potential to increase yields, resist pests and diseases, withstand adverse climates, improve nutrition and income, and more. The TAAT e-catalogs are a powerful step on the road towards such impact:
Technology Providers are researchers or representatives of organizations that own technologies that we showcase on the e-catalogs. They own the data we publish on their technologies in the e-catalogs.
Technology Providers work with the TAAT technology Profiling team to create technology profiles that are customized to the needs of the audience of the e-catalogs:
-
- decision-makers in governments, who are responsible for the design and implementation of large-scale agricultural development projects,
- decision-makers in private sector companies, who are responsible for the integration of agricultural technologies in new or improved business plans,
- decision-makers in international finance institutions funding agricultural development, or in large international organizations such as iNGOs, responsible for designing and implementing large-scale agricultural development programs.
We provide here supporting and guiding material for Technology Providers:
- e-learning course: introduction to the e-catalogs.
- This e-learning course takes under 5 minutes to study and gives you an easy-to-follow overview of the e-catalogs and technology profiles, their objective and their audience.
- Save the file on your computer and double-click on it, it is then automated and interactive.
- Overview of the process for the creation of a new Technology Profile.
- Guide on the use of the online form.

Efficiency Unleashed: Poultry Processing, Simplified Mechanized Defeathering and Egg Sorting technology addresses the labor-intensive and time-consuming processes of defeathering chickens and manually sorting eggs. It offers efficient, quick, and precise solutions for poultry farmers, enhancing productivity and product quality. The technology is crucial for small to medium-scale poultry producers, providing benefits such as increased throughput, reduced handling costs, and premium prices for high-grade eggs.
Low cost storage technologies for grain Large post-harvest losses of bean occurs across Sub-Sahara Africa because of improper storage techniques resulting in pest infestation that threatens the food security and livelihoods of farmers. As a result, farmers may opt to sell their produce immediately after harvest when market prices are at their lowest as a risk avoidance strategy. Grain storage pests such as weevils (bruchids) can be controlled by physical, chemical and biological methods. Some of the physical methods include use of hermitic storage bags and containers. The hermetic storage technology for grains avoids grain damage using sealed bags that prevents movement of air and moisture. The bags preserve the quality of grains and obstruct the entry of insects and microbial organisms through depletion of oxygen levels and accumulation of carbon dioxide. These conditions prevent damage by insects like weevils, moths and mites, curb development of fungi like aflatoxin that contaminate the grain, and maintain the taste and color characteristics of food. Hermitic bags allow for storage of grain without the need to apply chemicals.
The largest free resource for biological plant protection! In the face of growing concerns about the environmental and health impacts of synthetic pesticides, governments are under increasing pressure to promote safer and more sustainable crop protection strategies. However, the lack of accessible, up-to-date information on registered bioprotection products often hinders effective policy formulation and implementation. The CABI BioProtection Portal addresses this gap by offering a free, multilingual platform—available online and offline—that provides verified national data on registered bioprotection products by crop and pest. It supports evidence-based policymaking, enhances regulatory oversight, and enables governments to guide farmers toward eco-friendly alternatives that align with national agricultural and environmental goals.
