Putting market prices, buyers and farming know-how in the hands of smallholder farmers.

Project Summary

  • Client: Panthalida Ltd
  • Industry: agriculture
  • My role: Mobile Developer
  • Core tasks: Mobile app development
  • Appointed date: Jun 2018
  • Completion: Oct 2018

Smallholder farmers often sell blind. They don't know today's prices or who's buying, and they lack reliable advice. Panthalida built Agricom to change that, and brought me in to build the mobile app.

What I built

  • Market information. Up-to-date produce prices, so farmers sell at the right time and place.
  • Buyer connections. A way for farmers to list produce and reach buyers directly.
  • Practical advice. Agronomy tips in an app designed for low-end Android phones and patchy connectivity.

The result

Farmers got a direct line to markets and information that used to depend on middlemen.
