Botswana

Farmers need a buyer. Buyers need supply they can count on.

ReKamoso AgriMart is a marketplace where farms sell to businesses. We give farmers a buyer to sell to, show what a fair price looks like, check who every farmer is, and add small farms together into an order a large buyer can rely on.

What we do

Four things, done properly.

A farmer with a phone and a busy buyer both need the same few things to work.

A buyer to sell to
A farmer lists what they have. Shops, hotels, restaurants and depots see it and buy. No one has to find a buyer at the gate.
A fair price
We publish what a product has been selling for, and how much of it is about. Both sides open the same page before they agree a price.
A checked identity
Every farmer is verified against an Omang or a passport before they can trade. A buyer knows who they are dealing with.
Small farms, one order
One small farm cannot fill a large order. Several together can. We combine supply from many farms into a single delivery.

Three verticals

One is trading. Two are being built.

We would rather say plainly where each one stands than let you find out later.

  • Horticulture

    Live now

    Fruit and vegetables

    Trading now. Farms list what is ready, buyers order it, and tenders and contracts run on the platform today.

  • Livestock and meat

    In build

    Small stock first — goats and sheep

    Being built. Nothing is trading yet. We are starting with small stock, then working up the value chain.

  • Poultry

    In build

    Birds and eggs

    Being built. Nothing is trading yet.

One system underneath

The farmer registry, the verification checks, the contracting and the delivery tracking are shared across all three verticals. That part already works, because horticulture uses it every day.

What livestock needs on top of it is being built now: a record for each animal against BAITS, its breed, its live weight, and its carcass grade. Until that is finished and tested, livestock and poultry are not open for trade.

Working together

How several farms fill one order.

A buyer wants one quantity, at one grade, on one date. Few small farms can promise that alone.

Farm A200 kgFarm B350 kgFarm C300 kgFarm D150 kgOne order · 1 000 kgone grade, one delivery dateThe buyer
An example. Four farms filling one order, each paid on their own delivery record.

We combine what several farms have into a single order. The buyer agrees one price and one delivery, and does not have to chase four separate farms to get it.

Each farmer keeps their own record. They are paid for what they actually delivered, and the delivery counts towards their own history, not a shared one.

How trading works

Three ways to agree a sale.

Some produce is sold the day it is picked. Some is agreed months before it is planted.

  1. 01Spot listings

    Sell what is ready today.

  2. 02Tenders

    Ask for what you need and let farmers offer.

  3. 03Forward contracts

    Agree supply for a season, not for a day.
