MICROCAPITAL BRIEF: MICT Buys Tingo, Expands Agritech to Ghana & Malawi, Connecting More Farmers with International Markets

MICT, a US-based, publicly traded provider of financial and technology services in Eurasia and the US, recently closed its purchase of Tingo, a US-based provider of technology services to farmers in Africa. Meanwhile, Tingo has expanded its operations into Ghana and Malawi. The firm’s services include access to pricing and markets – domestic and international – as well as an escrow service that holds payments for goods until delivery is complete.

MICT’s other subsidiaries provide: (1) mobile technology products to businesses, largely in Europe and the US; and (2) insurance and investment services, largely to individuals in China. For the quarter ending September 2022, the firm recorded USD 14 million in revenue and a loss of USD 8.1 million, resulting in total assets of USD 144 million.
