FarmBizAfrica has launched a marketplace for farmers to advertise their goods for sale, for free, as well as to post details of any seeds, livestock or other input they are trying to source.

“Farmers often struggle to achieve sales thanks to their poor linkages to buyers, but in 2020, with the amount of disruption we have seen to agriculture as a result of the Covid-19 epidemic, the need for new ways to match buyers and sellers is now even greater,” said Jenny Luesby, the publisher of farmbiz.glorycarefoundation.org.

“We also receive comments, emails and social media messages every day trying to source seeds, inputs, machinery and equipment, and we know just how much people need a channel for sourcing too.”
