The Farmers Market connects organised African agricultural supply with business buyers, international market opportunities, diaspora agencies, and research networks.
Through digitalisation, traceability, producer coordination, and knowledge exchange, we are building practical connections between farmers, businesses, graduates, researchers, and communities.
This is not a simple retail shop. It is a structured agricultural trade and implementation network. The market connects suppliers and buyers, supported by an ecosystem of professional managers and researchers.
Access to restricted listings and buyer functions requires applicable registration and approval. Public visitors may view general market information.
These trails represent the practical implementation of our digital and agricultural strategies.
Start with the Market. Connect Farmers and Buyers.
This is the first and central trail. The immediate objective is to onboard farmers, producer organisations, and buyers, starting with Ethiopia and extending to East Africa and Zimbabwe.
Farmers and suppliers can register and submit product and production information. Buyers can register and express their sourcing requirements.
From Local Farmers to Organised International Supply.
This trail builds on the market established in Trail 1. Digital Logistics Managers (DLMs) help organise farmers and producer groups into a more coordinated supply network. They support the collection of product information, geographic data, quantities, production records, traceability information, and logistics requirements.
This enables producer groups to explore larger consolidated orders and international market opportunities. It integrates Ecopia Value Chain's digitalisation and certification-facilitation services into the marketplace.
Connect African Heritage, Diaspora Knowledge, and Sustainable Trade.
This trail connects diaspora agencies, second-generation diaspora participants, students, researchers, and professionals with African producer communities and institutions.
This is not a diaspora-support or remittance programme. It is an agency-led approach to building sustainable relationships, developing services, and organising demand. Children of the Nile is the second implementation initiative associated with this trail.
Diaspora Digital Managers help organise diaspora participation and coordinate with African agencies. They may support product requests, research, e-learning, e-medicine, and e-agriculture service development, subject to relevant requirements.
