African farmers lose 20-40% of harvested maize to spoilage and inefficient supply chains between farm and market
Small-scale African farmers grow maize but lack reliable systems to store, transport, and sell their harvest before it spoils, rots, or gets lost to pests and poor logistics. Current solutions (basic storage, informal middlemen) fail because they're unreliable, expensive, and leave farmers with no visibility into their product's journey. Farmers desperately need a way to preserve harvest quality and connect directly to buyers while minimizing post-harvest losses.
