Agricultural commodities
Verified agricultural supply from 14 African markets.
We cover Africa's major farm exports, from coffee and sesame to fresh produce and spices. Every crop is graded to international standards, checked by independent inspectors at several points along the way, and traded through clear contracts where payment is held safely and released in stages.

How quality is checked
The right grading standard is built into every deal.
Quality is measured against recognised international and regional standards — ICO for coffee, UNECE for fresh produce, Codex Alimentarius for food safety, and East African Standards for regional trade. Every contract spells out exactly what quality is expected, how much variation is allowed, and the penalties if it falls short.
You can send and approve samples before the main shipment. When the full load is inspected, the results are compared against that approved sample and the agreed quality. Any differences are recorded, penalties worked out, and disputes settled through a clear process.
Every step, tracked
From farm to export point, every stage is tracked.
- 01
Farm level
Farmers are registered, crops are planned around real buyer demand, and inspectors assess the harvest before it's picked.
- 02
Collection and gathering
Local agents gather produce from the farmers they work with, and it's graded at collection points against the agreed quality.
- 03
Processing
For crops that need milling, drying, extraction, or sorting, processors on the platform show their verified capacity, certifications, and how much they can handle.
- 04
Storage
Goods are inspected on arrival at the warehouse, a digital receipt is issued, and conditions are monitored. That receipt can also be used as security to raise finance.
- 05
Export
A final inspection before shipping, plant-health certificates (handled with national agriculture ministries), customs paperwork, and shipment tracking all the way to the destination port.
Seasonal insights
Harvest calendars, forecasts, and rule changes — by country and crop.
For every crop and country, we publish a seasonal calendar — when harvest starts, when volumes peak, and when quality is at its best. We also post weather alerts and rule changes (export restrictions, new certificate requirements, updated grading standards) as they happen.
This comes from our government partnerships and on-the-ground networks. It helps buyers time their purchases and helps suppliers plan when to gather supply.
