Everything a harvest needs, from farm to payment

M-Shamba combines produce listings, traceability, and market data so farmers, aggregation centres, and buyers work from the same record.

Post & Trace Produce

Farmers list available produce in minutes. Once aggregated, each lot gets a traceable record: plot, delivery date, and quality grade.

Living Market Price

Every listing shows a current reference price by commodity and county, so farmers can price with confidence, not guesswork.

Buyer Matching & Contracts

Buyers place orders against listings. Agreed prices and delivery terms lock into a contract the moment a match is made.

Transparent Settlement

Payments settle straight to the farmer group via Paystack, with the premium over the market baseline recorded on every transaction.

Benefits

Built for accountability at every step

Farmers

Fair, informed pricing

See the going market rate before you agree a price; no more relying on a single buyer's word.

Aggregation centres

Immutable weigh-in records

Weigh-ins and grades are locked once confirmed, with disputes flagged for supervisor review instead of silent edits.

Buyers & funders

A full audit trail

Every lot traces back to a farmer, plot, delivery date, and payment reference: gender-disaggregated by default.

How it works

From registration to payment, in four steps

Register

Farmers and groups sign up and get a unique farmer ID that anchors every record that follows.

Post & get traced

List your produce. Once delivered to an aggregation centre it's weighed, graded, and given a lot number.

Match with buyers

Buyers place orders against listings; the agreed price and delivery terms lock into a contract.

Get paid

Settlement is triggered on delivery confirmation, with the price premium recorded automatically.
