Mass Purchasing of Farming Outputs from Small Farmers in East Africa


We help a nonprofit organization to purchase the farming outputs of thousands of small farmers in East Africa. Our client is in direct contact with over 1M farmers and has sourcing agents visiting these farmers and purchasing their outputs (Avocado, Macadamia, Coffee, Potatoes, etc.)

We helped our clients to process purchase/validation/payment/audits 10x faster than they used to.

The flow:

Sourcing agents visit the farmers and input the farm out-put purchase:
Type

Quality

Quantity

Price




We automatically calculate the amount to be paid and display it on the app so that the agent can communicate to the farmer how much he is going to receive
The agent submits the order
The data is formatted in our backend and an SMS is sent to the farmer with the details of the transaction
