About Omukutu

Transforming the agricultural value chain through technology, transparency, and trust.

Our Mission

Bridging the Gap Between Farm and Market

Omukutu is a digital agricultural marketplace connecting farmers, traders, input suppliers, extension officers, service providers, and farmer groups across all districts of.

The agricultural sector employs over 70% of the population, yet farmers consistently earn less than fair value for their produce due to information gaps, limited market access, and excessive middlemen. Omukutu was built to solve this.

By bringing all value chain actors onto one platform, we enable fair pricing, transparent transactions, and meaningful market access for smallholder farmers who previously had limited power in the marketplace.

The Problem

The Agricultural Value Chain is Broken

Information asymmetry – traders know market prices, farmers don't. This leads to farmers selling at a fraction of true market value.

3–5 middlemen between farmer and end buyer, each adding cost and reducing what the farmer earns.

Post-harvest losses averaging 30–40% due to lack of market access, storage, and transport connections.

Extension advice reaching less than 20% of farmers due to limited officer numbers and poor information channels.

Our Solution

Real-time market prices from 20+ markets across the country, freely accessible to all farmers.

Direct connections between farmers and buyers, eliminating unnecessary middlemen.

Logistics marketplace connecting farmers to transport and cold-storage providers.
