Tagani Inc., commonly known as Tagani, was a Philippine agricultural company.[1] Its services include e-learning for agribusiness and digital farm management.[2] The company is 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 suspended operations following its Founding President & CEO's appointment at the National Economic and Development Authority as part of the National Innovation Council Secretariat.

History[]

It started as the college project Amiga Philippines in 2016 which taught women farmers a simplified version of accounting translated in the Filipino language.[4] In 2017, it won the Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) Awards under the Livelihood and Entrepreneurship category.[5]

It later evolved into the corporation Tagani Inc., doing business as Tagani.ph, in August 2018[6] and represented the Philippines at the ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Forum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.[7][8] The company also participated in the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative program of Brown University during the same year.[9]
