The Challenge
Farmers had no reliable channel to reach urban buyers, leading to produce wastage and low incomes. Buyers lacked visibility into supply availability.
Our Solution
We developed a React Native app with real-time listings, GPS-based logistics matching, in-app chat, and mobile money payments. An offline-first mode was critical for areas with poor connectivity.
Results
Onboarded 800+ farmers in 6 months. Average farmer income increased by 35%. Over 120 tonnes of produce traded through the platform in year one.
