Vision

To create a value added service for both farmers and businesses.

What is the problem?

1. Farmers unable to source buyers for their agricultural

produce

2. Businesses unable to source large amounts of Agricultural

produce

3. Foreign buyers unable to access local value chain

4. Agro-processors unable to source crops in shortages

5. Farmers getting small margins on their produce.

Agrocentral: Jamaica’s very first digital agriculture clearing house.

Use Web to SMS technology to connect small farmers to big businesses

Allow farmers to post their available produce to the platform using SMS.

Fill orders by using our database of crops to source and deliver produce to businesses
