How AfriqAgro Works

How AfriqAgro Marketplace Works

1. For Farmers / Dealers

No Internet Access

Farmers and Dealers without Internet Access

  1. The farmer or dealer contacts AfriqAgro support by phone, SMS or another available offline channel and provides basic product details.
  2. AfriqAgro support collects the full information required for the listing, including product name, quantity, price, location and fulfilment option.
  3. The product is listed on AfriqAgro so customers can discover and purchase it online.
  4. When an order is received, the seller is informed so the product can be prepared for pickup or delivery.
  5. The buyer collects the product where pickup is enabled, or the order is delivered using an available logistics option.
Internet Access

Farmers and Dealers with Internet Access

  1. The farmer or dealer opens AfriqAgro.com using a phone, tablet or computer.
  2. The seller creates an account or signs in and adds products with the correct details, prices, images, category and stock information.
  3. Published products become visible to buyers in the AfriqAgro marketplace.
  4. When an order is placed, the seller receives the order information and prepares the products.
  5. The buyer collects the products where pickup is available, or the order is fulfilled using the selected delivery method.

2. For Buyers / Consumers

  1. Buyers open AfriqAgro.com from a phone, tablet or computer.
  2. They search or browse the marketplace by product, category, seller, price or other available filters.
  3. Buyers review the product details, seller information, price and available delivery or pickup options.
  4. Products can be added to the market bag and the buyer proceeds to checkout.
  5. After the order is confirmed, the buyer receives the available order updates and fulfilment information.
  6. The order is either collected by the buyer where local pickup is enabled or delivered using the selected logistics option.

3. For Logistics Partners / Distributors

  1. Logistics partners or distributors register with AfriqAgro and provide the information required for their delivery or distribution service.
  2. Their service information may include coverage area, delivery type, estimated delivery time, available capacity and applicable charges.
  3. When a marketplace order requires delivery, the available fulfilment information is used to coordinate the movement of the products.
  4. Products are collected from the seller or agreed pickup point and transported according to the selected service.
  5. The logistics partner completes the delivery to the buyer or destination and the order can be marked as fulfilled.
AfriqAgro is designed to support both digital and less-connected agricultural communities. Available payment, pickup and delivery options may vary by seller, product and location.
