M-Farm

MFarm Ltd. is a Kenyan software solution and agribusiness company founded in October 2010.

Our product, M-Farm, works as a transparency tool for farmers. M-Farm was launched after winning the IPO48 competition — a 48 hour boot-camp event aimed at giving web/mobile start-ups a platform to launch their start-ups.Of the 37 initial ideas, M-Farm took away the €10,000 prize as capital investment.

M-Farm

M-Farm aims to:

  1. Enable farmers to inquire current market prices of different crops from different regions and/or specific markets.
  2. Aggregate farmers needs/orders and connect them with farm input suppliers.
  3. Enable farmers to sell collectively and connect them with a ready market
Farmers are plagued with problems affecting their productivity and livelihood–middlemen only offering meager prices for their produce, cereal boards delaying with payments, and expensive farm inputs. M-Farm gives these farmers a voice by connecting them with each other in a virtual space. With M-Farm,they not get affordable farm inputs but also are able to sell collectively

Since many farmers do not have access to internet, M-Farm has adopted an SMS-based solution where they send a simple text to 3535 depending on what they are looking for.
