We are a social enterprise that seeks to help local farmers across Africa practice sustainable agriculture and use E-Commerce to sell their agricultural produce/harvest to ensure poverty reduction and food security.
Local farmers contribute up to 90% of food produced in Sub-Saharan Africa. But these local farmers still face many challenges since the majority live in remote communities. They have limited access to information, lack of stable market, unfair prices for their produce, poor methods of farming, lack of access to inputs like improved seeds, fertilizers and pesticides and more so facing the big obstacle of climate change.
We provide inputs to local farmers to improve their harvest and technical support for better agricultural practices. After the harvest;
1. We pick their produce from the garden and deliver it directly to consumers using our E-Commerce Platform.
2. We connect farmers with buyers via our Platform for those who want to buy in large quantities and export.
3. We store some of the food in our groceries, add value to reduce food waste and other postharvest challenges and sell it online.
