A Kenya-first blockchain marketplace connecting verified farmers with trusted buyers through transparent pricing, fair markets, and guaranteed sales.
Farmers and buyers in Kenya often dealt with unclear pricing, little traceability from farm to buyer, and no single place to trade with trust. Middlemen and information gaps made it hard for farmers to get fair prices and for buyers to be sure of origin and quality.
A transparent, verifiable marketplace was missing — one that could level the playing field between producers and buyers across Kenya's diverse agricultural regions.
I contributed to the design and implementation of a blockchain-based agri-marketplace so that every crop could be traced from farm to buyer. The system supports verified farmer onboarding with KYC-style checks, so only vetted producers can list produce. Buyers see clear provenance and can connect with farmers in real time.
Smart pricing and a tender system were built so that offers and bids are visible and fair. The platform also uses a coin-based model for payments and bidding, making it easier to settle and to run auctions.
My work focused on the data and analytics side: how traceability data is stored and queried, how pricing and tender data feed into the platform, and how dashboards and reports can sit on top of the blockchain and application data.
The platform gives verified farmers and trusted buyers a single place to trade with end-to-end visibility, fairer pricing, and clearer accountability. It supports better market access for farmers and more reliable supply and traceability for buyers.
