It currently sources produce from a network of over 139,000 smallholder farmers across five regions and then leverages demand-matched supply data to achieve efficiencies in a shorter route-to-market with fewer middlemen.
It runs both B2C and B2B operations with its B2B customers including international hotels and restaurants, food processors, and large supermarket chains such as WalterMart, Robinsons Group, and MerryMart.
