Kasuwa Smallholder Supply Chain Platform

Agriarche is an agri-tech company based in Abuja, Nigeria, that supplies smallholder farmers with inputs, training and market access through a technology-enabled supply chain. The company states a mission of making food consistently available, affordable and trusted from soil to plate.

Its Kasuwa platform connects farmers, aggregators, retailers and financiers in one system covering inputs, financial services and market access, with logistics and payments support. A sister business, Mite'ra Foods, supplies traceable produce to retailers, restaurants, wholesalers and processors from the same farmer network.

• Input access: farmers order seeds and other inputs through the Kasuwa platform.
• Financial services: financiers connect to farmers and agents inside the same system.
• Market access: aggregators and buyers trade produce with the farmer network.
• Logistics and payments: delivery and payment support for transactions on the platform.
• Traceable supply: Mite'ra Foods sells traceable produce to retailers and restaurants.
• Farmer training: agronomy education alongside input supply.

A Vietnamese cooperative network could adapt the model to bundle input purchasing, credit and offtake. An agri-input distributor in the Mekong Delta could use a similar platform to link retailers, farmers and financiers. Exporters could apply it for traceable sourcing from smallholders.

Gives farmers access to inputs, financing and buyers through a single channel. Helps aggregators and retailers source from a connected farmer base. Supports traceable supply for processors and food service buyers. The company reports 25,000+ farmers reached and 40,000+ tons delivered.

Fragmented smallholder supply chains in emerging markets need aggregation, input credit and traceable sourcing. Buyers also face growing traceability and carbon-credit requirements. Vietnamese cooperatives and agri-SMEs face similar fragmentation in input supply and offtake.

Headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria (Maitama office). April 2026 partnership with OYU Green on carbon credit projects. Founding year not stated on the website. Also operates Mite'ra Foods.
