Our Story

Fixing Nigeria's Broken Agricultural Supply Chain

AgriLink was built because Nigeria's farmers were selling at a loss while buyers paid a premium — and a chain of middlemen collected the difference. We're changing that.

The Problem

A trillion-naira market running on phone calls and trust in strangers

Nigeria's agricultural sector generates over ₦2.4 trillion annually — yet most of that trade still happens through fragmented, informal networks. Farmers sell below value. Buyers pay above market. And logistics providers run half-empty trucks.

The root cause isn't a lack of supply or demand. It's a lack of infrastructure — no common marketplace, no price visibility, no structured connection between the people who grow food and the people who need it.

Farmers

Sell through exploitative middlemen at 30–50% below market value

Buyers

Pay inflated prices with no quality assurance or price benchmarks

Logistics

Run empty return trips, losing up to 50% of potential revenue

Our Mission

To digitize agricultural trade across Nigeria — connecting every farmer, buyer, and logistics provider in one transparent marketplace.

We're not building a dating app for produce. We're building the infrastructure layer that allows Nigeria's agricultural economy to move at the speed of the internet.

What We Stand For

Our Values

Trust by Default

Every supplier is reviewed before their listings go live. Every buyer is verified. We build trust into the foundation, not as an afterthought.

Radical Transparency

Price discovery should be open. Farmers deserve to know what their produce is worth, and buyers deserve to know exactly what they're getting.

Speed to Trade

We cut the friction from agricultural trade — no intermediaries, no phone-tag, no guesswork. Supplier to buyer in minutes, not weeks.

Built for Nigeria

AgriLink is designed around the real conditions of Nigerian agricultural trade — state-level logistics, commodity-specific pricing, and mobile-first users.
