There was a time—not long ago—when food companies, schools, processors, millers, hotels, and exporters across Africa were desperately trying to source crops from rural farmers. Some tried their luck by sending money to brokers in villages. Others used informal middlemen with no system, no record, and no guarantee. And the stories were always the same…
"We sent money to a contact in the village, but they vanished."
"They don’t pick up their phones anymore."
"We waited weeks, but no crops ever came."
“We ordered 10,000 metric tons of maize. What did we get? 300 tons. And half of it was poor quality. Is this a joke? Maybe we should start farming ourselves.”
“We sent money to someone in the village, a ‘trusted guy’, to collect produce for us. He stopped picking up calls. Money gone. Produce never arrived. Ooh God.”
This story repeats every season. Substandard produce. Lost money. Ghost middlemen. Empty warehouses. It’s not just a supply chain issue – it’s a broken trust issue.
In the end, buyers lost millions. Trust was broken. And worse—farmers who worked so hard in the soil never got connected to fair markets.
That’s where @MazaoHub stepped in.
We looked at the chaos and decided it was time to build a bridge between the buyer and the farmer—a safe, traceable, and human-centered system powered by Tech and Touch. Not just another platform, but a network that deeply understands both sides of the equation.
Today, I am filled with joy to tell you that we’ve digitized dozens of village-level market centers and warehouses across Tanzania. These are no longer chaotic village sheds – they are mapped, structured, and powered by real-time digital data.
We’ve partnered with warehouse owners and village leaders to turn these locations into verified crop sourcing centers. And every produce you buy from MazaoHub comes with a traceability report. You’ll know:
✅ Which farmer grew it ✅ When it was harvested ✅ Which agronomist supervised the production ✅ Which field it came from
Because we work side by side with thousands of smallholder farmers through our Farmer Excellent Centers (FECs) – or as farmers call them, Kliniki za Kilimo – we ensure quality from the soil, agronomy services, inputs to harvest to the store.
We give buyers reports showing exactly how the crop was grown and by whom.
That’s what we call TRACEABLE AGRICULTURE.
And now, I’m so excited to share with you: These crops are available—and you don’t need to send money to a stranger ever again.
