Market Access for All
The majority of the 700 million people oppressed by global extreme poverty (<$2/day) are rural, Sub-saharan subsistence farmers. These smallholder farmers are 60% women & include 90% of the region's children.
The average Sub-saharan smallholder actually already creates ~$20/day worth of produce, ~10x the poverty limit!
They just aren't paid enough for the value they create! In developed markets, producers keep about 1/3 of revenue.
But smallholders only keep ~5%. Main causes being: 1) no negotiating power, & 2) extortion by the many middlemen. Both stem from lack of market access.
Honeyguide is a market access & profit optimization platform that uses technology & economic design to connect smallholders directly to the the market. Literally farm gate to consumer hands. This allows smallholders to capture & amplify the value that they already create.
Increased profits unlock self-investment, which further improves productivity & profitability. Suddenly, the entire smallholder economy thrives, African agriculture fluorishes, & the continent generates massive wealth.
Honeyguide
is the most smallholder-centric
company ever created.
