**_The new registration system, built on Joget DX Enterprise, brings farmer and 
land information together across all 10 districts, giving the Ministry a stronger
foundation to serve farmers_.**

MOYENI, Lesotho, Aug. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The [Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition (MAFSN)](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4763301-1&h=3370213762&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.ls%2Fgovernment-ministries%2Fagriculture-food-security-and-nutrition%2F&a=Ministry+of+Agriculture%2C+Food+Security+and+Nutrition+(MAFSN))
has officially launched the **Lesotho Farmers Portal**, the country’s first national
digital platform bringing farmer and land information together in one central registry.
The Honourable Selibe Mochoboroane, Minister of Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition,
led the launch in partnership with Vodacom Lesotho. Field officers across all 10
districts will use the platform to register farmers and their land parcels, and 
to capture information about households, farming activities, livestock, assets and
support services.

Prior to the portal, farmer information was held in paper files, spreadsheets and
separate district-level records that did not connect to one another. Built by [FiscalAdmin Ltd](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4763301-1&h=2502286140&u=https%3A%2F%2Ffiscaladmin.com%2F&a=FiscalAdmin+Ltd)
on [Joget DX Enterprise platform](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4763301-1&h=1296868574&u=https%3A%2F%2Fjoget.com%2Fdx9%2F&a=Joget+DX+Enterprise+platform),
the new system replaces that patchwork, giving the Ministry a clearer picture of
the country’s agricultural community.

Field officers use the portal to register farmers against their national identity
number, capture household, farming, livestock and asset information, and record 
land parcels with GPS boundaries. Ministry staff can then search and review that
data centrally, giving the government a live, national view of the farming population
for the first time.

For farmers, formal registration means the Ministry can identify who they are, what
they grow or raise, and what support they may need, laying the groundwork for future
services such as targeted subsidies and input distribution. For the Ministry, the
registry replaces incomplete and scattered records with one verified source of data
to guide policy and budget decisions.

The wider platform already includes capabilities for programme applications, eligibility
evaluation, decision management and entitlement issuance, which can be introduced
as the programme progresses beyond this initial registration phase.

The Farmers Portal is an important step in strengthening how the ministry understands
and supports farmers across Lesotho. Having reliable information in one place will
help the Ministry better understand the needs of the farmers, plan agricultural 
programmes and improve the way services are delivered. Transitioning from development
into a national service enables the platform to benefit farmers across all 10 districts.

**Built for the needs of a public-sector team**

The Farmers Portal was delivered by FiscalAdmin Ltd using Joget DX Enterprise, with
several partners contributing to the programme. MAFSN owns the registry, the data
and the process; the [International Telecommunication Union (ITU)](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4763301-1&h=4129816144&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.itu.int%2F&a=International+Telecommunication+Union+(ITU))
provided the programme framework and digital-government methodology; [GovStack](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4763301-1&h=1353159360&u=https%3A%2F%2Fgovstack.global%2F&a=GovStack)
supplied the Registration Building Block specification and reference architecture;
the [World Food Programme](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4763301-1&h=2013411088&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Faclk%3Fsa%3DL%26ai%3DDChsSEwiourv308KWAxX2ZA8CHR91LvMYACICCAEQABoCdGI%26ae%3D2%26co%3D1%26ase%3D2%26gclid%3DCjwKCAjwwL_UBhAjEiwAEhuT5DPt99PVLRiTQajA1yghbBgpQzQUmBssmuQgj2k8MLabdhqc3VrixhoCpiwQAvD_BwE%26cid%3DCAASZuRo6ZjSu8HbPqI_U6oHtWXPvrREr0cyKnKWSMi1lGLXxaooN893bC6HXEfc8HejWidXccu813dDh7lSO8asLgFwlPq5mI1AKuQ-b8xQxfkd6EkprXFUD6Bw0ThmLMfDBctg7RTlrw%26cce%3D2%26category%3Dacrcp_v1_71%26sig%3DAOD64_0J201uCo7nV7q2VLq6exzd7NrcKg%26q%26nis%3D4%26adurl%26ved%3D2ahUKEwjxw7D308KWAxW3m-EIHVklFTEQ0Qx6BAgPEAE&a=World+Food+Programme)
supported the implementation, including the [Joget DX Enterprise](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4763301-1&h=3964235929&u=https%3A%2F%2Fjoget.com%2Fplatform-guide%2Foverview%2F&a=Joget+DX+Enterprise)
licence; and Vodacom Lesotho partnered on the launch and on reaching officers in
the field.

The portal was built with the realities of a small public-sector ICT team in mind.
Much of the application is managed through configuration rather than traditional
software development, including forms, lists, workflows, user access and reference
data. This means Ministry staff can maintain information such as districts, villages,
crops, livestock types and document types through the system itself, without needing
a developer for every change.

"We wanted to build a service that could work at a national scale and still be practical
for the people using it every day. **The Farmers Portal** brings together a number
of processes that would otherwise remain separate, while giving the Ministry greater
control over its own data.

We built this as a live implementation of the GovStack Registration Building Block,
so it needed to hold up under real conditions in the field, not just on paper. Joget’s
enterprise application platform enabled a very small team to turn a working prototype
into a national service the Ministry can run and maintain on its own, and that is
what made the two-year timeline possible."  said **Aare Lapõnin, Founder and CEO,
FiscalAdmin Ltd,** Technical Delivery Partner.

The delivery approach also used what FiscalAdmin describes as LLM-assisted spec-
driven development. An LLM assistant worked against a written specification rather
than the live system directly, with each result pushed through the platform’s own
API and checked by an automated test suite before release. When something did not
work, the fix went back into the specification, not into the system directly.

Raveesh Dewan, President and CEO of Joget Inc., said the project shows how technology
can help public-sector organisations build practical digital services while keeping
them adaptable as their needs evolve.

"What makes this project meaningful is the real-world problem it addresses. The 
Ministry needed a better way to understand its farmers and manage information that
can support agricultural services across the country. We are proud that Joget could
provide the foundation for that work.

The portal also shows how an agentic AI application platform can help a small team
build and maintain a national service while leaving room to expand it as new needs
emerge."  continued **Raveesh Dewan, President & CEO, Joget Inc..**

As registration reaches full national coverage, the Ministry expects to introduce
further services building on the registry, including programme applications and 
input distribution, extending support to farmers across Lesotho.
