Problem: The chaotic agricultural supply chain results in farmers being short changed by brokers, 50% post-harvest wastage, and USD30 billion lost by Africa smallholder farmers resulting in overpriced farm produce. 
There Exists No Formal Agriculture Supply Chain Across Sub-Saharan Africa. 
This results in a Shortage of Quality Affordable Fresh Produce In Urban Cities as Well as in Rural Towns 
Solution: East Africa’s First Data-Driven Food Supply Chain Platform. 
We have developed an online B2B platform that directly connects farmers to informal green grocers. By digitizing the value chain, we cut wastage, offer farmers better pricing and deliver fresh affordable products to informal green grocers.  
Potential: 
Urban traders, informal grocers and institutions in Nairobi alone have more than 120,000 whose average basket size is USD50. 
In Kenya alone we have at least 850,000 smallholder farmers.

We are developing a comprehensive AI-powered platform called FarmGate that covers the full spectrum of services needed for precision agriculture (anomaly detection, irrigation scheduling, yield estimation, etc.) as well as novel field scouting application. It exploits the available peta-bytes of remote sensing data from free and commercial satellite constellations such as Sentinel and Planet. FarmGate also facilitates integration with emerging ag field sensing technologies such as IoT field sensors (when available) and features a cloud system that can handle millions of subscribers while keeping operational costs low. 
The platform optimizes all ag inputs to reduce water and nutrients waste, thus creating a positive impact on both the environment and farmers. It also provides a scalable and economically adaptive solution that can be seamlessly utilized all over the world in both developed and developing countries without any specific h/w requirements. 

We are an AgriceCommerce platform that bring farm produce and experience (using data) to the doorstep and fingertips of every consumer. 
Our Vision is to build a new economy for Africa farmers by recreating what commerce is to them. 
We do this by bringing the best quality farm produce from the farm to consumers while still being able to relate our clients to the process and location of what they consume this value proposition help widen up the market for the farmers. 
We are focused on building technology to create a ready-made market for every farmer irrespective of their geography because we know this will help them produce more and make the agricultural space more lucrative, and less risky to venture into. 
Our value proposition to solving the problem of distribution also enables us to connect farmers to market beyond their immediate environment, easily through our online marketplace.
