The talented women behind SokoKilimo
Our Story
SokoKilimo was born from a simple observation: farmers in Tanzania face significant challenges connecting with buyers, while traders struggle to find reliable suppliers. Traditional markets are often far away, and information about prices and availability is limited.
We set out to create a digital solution that brings the marketplace to everyone's fingertips. By leveraging modern technology, we've built a platform that makes it easy for farmers to showcase their products and for buyers to discover quality livestock and crops from across Tanzania.
Today, SokoKilimo serves as a bridge between rural and urban communities, helping thousands of users buy and sell with confidence. Our platform supports verified sellers, provides secure communication tools, and ensures transparency in every transaction.
