Tingo Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:TIO) ("Tingo" or the "Company"), 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 and roll out 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.
The MOU, which was signed in Peshawar by representatives of each of the parties, defines how KPITB intends to assist Tingo to revolutionize Pakistan's agriculture sector, empower farmers, improve food production levels, increase food processing capacity, and enhance food security in Pakistan.
Under the terms of the MOU, KPITB has agreed to assist Tingo by facilitating various initiatives in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province as well as throughout Pakistan, including the following:
The non-binding MOU establishes the framework upon which Tingo and KPITB are expected to develop a binding definitive agreement in the coming weeks consistent with the terms described above.
Dozy Mmobuosi, Interim Co-Chief Executive Officer of Tingo Group, Inc. commented: "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.
"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.
"The launch of Tingo's business into Asia is another major milestone for the Company. Furthermore, our partnership with the KPITB and the Government of Pakistan is additional testament to our strong credentials and reputation in the agricultural and agri-fintech space. This gives us great hope as we increase our focus on the markets that welcome us as we continue to take decisive action to improve shareholder value and address the ever apparent disconnect between our share price and the Company's true value."
