Tagani Inc., commonly known as Tagani, was a Philippine agricultural startup company founded by Keb Cuevas in 2016.[1] It was most notable for e-commerce platform for farm produce. Tagani also developed services such as e-learning for agribusiness and its proprietary digital farm management software platform.[2] The company was headquartered at the Asian Institute of Management in Makati City, Philippines.

The name Tagani is derived from the Tagalog word tag-ani ("harvest season"), composed of tag- ("time of" or "season of") and ani ("harvest"). It also means the Tagalog deity of good harvest, Tag-ani.

In 2019, Tagani was named by e27.co as one of the Top 100 startups in Asia Pacific representing the Philippines.[3] As of August 2021, the company has permanently ceased operations following its Founder and CEO's appointment at the National Economic and Development Authority.

History

Tagani began as a college project of Keb Cuevas as Amiga Philippines[4] under Enactus UPLB in 2016. The initiative aimed at teaching women farmers a simplified version of accounting translated in the Filipino language, to improve financial literacy in rural communities.[5]

In 2017, it gained national recognition when it won the Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) Awards under the Livelihood and Entrepreneurship category.[6] Following this success, the project evolved into Tagani Inc., a formal corporation, in August 2018[7] and represented the Philippines at the ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Forum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.[8][9] The company also participated in the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative program of Brown University during the same year.[10]

Transitioning from a project to a profit-driven organization, Tagani developed from using a basic paper-based accounting system to a more advanced Tagani farm management system (FMS). This system was co-developed with Tanibox, an Indonesia-based non-profit organization. In a significant partnership with the Department of Agriculture, Tagani integrated e-commerce capabilities into its platform, facilitating connections between farmers and local markets through an API linked to the Tagani FMS.

Despite these advancements, the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, coupled with a lack of further funding, impeded the continued development of the Tagani FMS. This setback ultimately led to the discontinuation of the organization's operations in August 2021.
