How it works

One flow from field to shelf

Every step that brokers used to control β€” price discovery, trust, transport and payment β€” is built into the platform.

1

List or pre-sell

Farmers (or their field agent) post graded produce β€” ready now or still growing β€” with photos, GPS and yield estimates.

2

Buy direct, funds in escrow

Retailers compare against live wholesale prices, then pay by Mobile Money, bank, card or 7–14 day trade credit.

3

Inspected, tracked delivery

Carriers bid for the load, run a 3-step pre-load check, and the retailer's one-time code proves delivery.

4

Instant settlement

Escrow releases automatically on proof of delivery. Farmers can draw up to 80% the moment pickup is verified.

Pre-harvest engine

Sell your harvest before it's harvested.

Farmers secure buyers and cash-flow months ahead. Retailers lock supply and price. Geo-tagged milestone photos keep everyone honest.

Works offline, works on any phone

The mobile app queues listings and milestone photos offline and syncs when signal returns. Feature-phone farmers use USSD and SMS.

Trust & safety

Safeguards built into the system, not the small print

Multi-party escrow vault

Money sits in escrow until digital proof of delivery. Nobody gets paid for goods that never arrive.

Every actor verified

National ID, GPS-tagged farms, TIN checks, vehicle and Goods-in-Transit insurance β€” before anyone can transact.

Pre-load inspection

Quantity, grade and packaging are checked and photographed before the truck leaves. Mismatch? Transit halts and you're refunded.

Protected chat & masked calls

Phone numbers and payment links are hidden automatically; calls go through proxy numbers.

Crop-failure guarantee

If a pre-harvest crop fails to weather or pests, the deposit is 100% refunded or moved to another verified farmer.

QR lot traceability

Every lot gets a QR tag tracing farm, crop milestones, inspection and delivery β€” ready for food-safety audits.

Platform policies at a glance

Off-platform deals+

Guarantees, escrow and disputes apply only to in-app transactions. Sharing contacts or asking to pay outside is redacted and can lead to suspension.

Pre-harvest deposits+

Retailers lock pre-orders with a 10–20% deposit. Farmers must post a geo-tagged update at least every 10 days, or the contract is forfeited and deposits refunded.

Quality & perishability+

Farmers are liable for misrepresented produce at pickup; retailers for spoilage caused by unexcused receiving delays. Pre-load photos set the baseline.

Transit damage & loss+

Carriers are independent contractors with mandatory Goods-in-Transit insurance. Transit claims are settled through that cover via DACE dispute logs.
