Blind planting
Farmers produce without advance signals from hotels, institutions, or retailers — leading to surplus or the wrong mix of crops.
Cloud SaaS live
Sub-Saharan Africa · Developed in Mauritius
Better coordination between farmers and buyers across Africa.
LakazAgri is a simple Android app and cloud SaaS for Sub-Saharan agri systems: post availability and demand, sync across phones in the same country group, then attach a trust record — origin and batch ID, quality photos, and payment proof — with offline cache on the phone. Plan ahead, reduce disputes, build reliable supply chains.

Farmers post availability
Buyers post demand ahead
Built for Sub-Saharan agri-food systems
- Smallholder farmers
- Agricultural cooperatives
- Hotels & resorts
- Markets & retailers
- Traders & aggregators
- Institutions & programmes
The problem
Production and demand rarely meet in time.
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, smallholders often plant without clear visibility of what buyers will need. Hotels, markets, and institutions struggle with inconsistent local supply. The result is post-harvest waste, unstable farmer incomes, and missed opportunities for domestic and regional food systems.
Unpredictable supply
Buyers face last-minute shortages, variable quality, and heavy reliance on intermediaries with little planning data.
No shared view
There is limited coordination between production and market demand — and almost no aggregated data for local planning.
How it works
Coordinate. Match. Add trust on the order.
Register as a farmer or buyer, post availability or demand, review match opportunities, then open a trust / order record for origin, quality photos, and payment proof — mobile-first and offline-capable.
-
01
Choose your role
Open LakazAgri and select I am a Farmer or I am a Buyer. You can change roles later in settings.
-
02
Create a simple profile
Register with full name, phone number, location (district/village/region), and optional organisation or farm name. Privacy-first by design.
-
03
Post availability or demand
Farmers share crop, quantity, location, and date available. Buyers post product needed, quantity, deadline, and preferred area or market.
-
04
Browse matches
See supply–demand opportunities, open a match, and contact the other party (e.g. WhatsApp) when you are ready to deal.
-
05
Trust on the order
Create a batch ID with origin details, add quality photos and notes, track payment status and attach receipt proof — all offline-first.

Mobile-first Android
Designed for phones farmers and buyers already use — install the pilot APK and start in minutes.
Trust on the match
Origin, quality photos, and payment proof attach to each matched order — not a separate complex module.
Offline photo queue
Quality and receipt photos compress on-device and stay on the phone until you sync later.
Respects real relationships
Supports existing trusted links between growers, coops, aggregators, and buyers — does not force anonymous marketplace trading.
Inside the app
App screens — coordination and trust, ready to pilot.
From role selection to posting and browsing, the foundation is built and tested for early users.
Why it matters
Visibility first. Then fewer disputes.
Coordination solves the planning bottleneck. The trust layer then reduces fights over origin, quality, and payment — using a simple batch ID and shared offline records, without requiring blockchain for day-to-day use.
- Plan ahead Advance demand signals for hotels, markets, traders and institutions
- Cut waste Less surplus planting and fewer last-minute procurement surprises
- Local first Supports food security and stronger domestic and regional sourcing
- Fewer disputes Shared origin, quality photos, and payment proof on each matched order
Product roadmap
Cloud SaaS, coordination and trust are live. Depth comes next.
Phones and the web app share group-scoped data through our production API (api.mkweli.tech (HTTPS). The pilot APK includes supply–demand matching, the trust order record, and multi-device sync. Next layers add production notes, a full shared timeline, and export-ready summaries.
