FarmKore
Connecting smallholder farmers to industrial food processors through an automated supply matching and cold-chain logistics coordination platform.
Company Overview
FarmKore is an agricultural marketplace and supply chain platform. We coordinate grain and crop collection from smallholder farmer clusters in Northern Nigeria, conduct quality grading, and deliver directly to major industrial food manufacturers.
Problem & Proposed Solution
Farmers suffer from high post-harvest losses and predatory middlemen, while industrial processors struggle to source consistent high-quality grains. FarmKore aggregates supply, provides cold-storage logistics, and matches processors directly to trusted farmer nodes.
Investment Highlights
Secured contract off-take agreements worth $1.2M with leading milling and food manufacturing firms.
Increased smallholder farmer incomes by an average of 35% across 1,800 registered farmers.
Constructed 3 solar-powered community storage hubs reducing post-harvest losses to under 4%.
