Kilimo Fresh is a Tanzanian-based B2B produce distribution platform that links small holder farmers and produce buyers to fair and reliable market. The company leverages mobile technology to increase income to farmers by linking them directly to the marke as well as mobile technology to eliminate food waste. The company provides these farmers and vendors ready access to market and better prices for their goods. Kilimo currently works hotels, restaurants, catering companies and exporters, and has been supporting more than 65 farmers for the past 1 year providing them with access to market. Their value chain model also enables farmers to sell right on their farms without having to travel several miles to get their produce on the market, especially when most (80%) of the produce is sent to urban cities, coupled with bad roads which makes perishable goods like tomatoes and banana get rotten before reaching the markets. They are also looking to become a full stock M-Commerce platform for small businesses in 2025.
