We accept all fresh vegetables, herbs, and specialty produce. Our biggest demand is for tomatoes, onions, cabbage, rape, Chinese cabbage, peppers, and leafy greens. We also welcome herbs like basil, cilantro, and specialty items.
How and when do I get paid?
We pay weekly, every Friday, for all deliveries made the previous week. You can choose mobile money (MTN, Airtel, Zamtel) or bank transfer. There are no fees for receiving your payments.
Do I need to deliver to customers myself?
No. Our professional riders handle all deliveries. You simply prepare the orders at your farm or designated pickup point, and our riders collect and deliver to customers.
What quality standards do I need to meet?
We provide detailed quality guidelines for each product type. Generally, produce should be fresh, properly cleaned, free from pests/disease, and appropriately packaged. We'll train you on our standards during onboarding.
Is there a minimum quantity I must supply?
We work with suppliers of all sizes. Whether you have a small garden or large commercial farm, we can find the right arrangement. Some of our partners supply just 20kg weekly, others supply 500kg+.
What if I can't fulfill an order?
We understand farming has uncertainties. We ask for 24-hour notice if you can't fulfill an order so we can notify the customer. Occasional issues won't affect your standing, but consistent reliability is important.
