Why the middleman is killing small farmers (and what we're doing about it)

Most small-scale farmers lose 40-60% of their revenue to middlemen, wholesalers, and market fees before their produce even reaches a buyer.


The farmer grows tomatoes for ₦200/kg. The middleman buys at ₦300. The retailer sells at ₦600. The farmer gets the smallest cut for the hardest work.


FarmLink exists to fix this.


We're building a direct connection between local food vendors and buyers — no middlemen, no inflated prices. Farmers set their own prices. Buyers get fresher produce for less.


What we've seen so far:

  • Vendors who sell direct make 2-3x more per kg

  • Buyers get produce 1-2 days fresher than market alternatives

  • Both sides build real relationships instead of anonymous transactions


If you're a farmer, food vendor, or anyone selling fresh produce — join FarmLink. It's free to list right now while we're growing the network.


If you're a buyer looking for fresher, cheaper, locally-grown food — this is where you'll find it.

Why local food vendors are losing money staying offline

Most local food vendors rely on foot traffic and word of mouth. It works — until it doesn't.


A rainy week, a road closure, a new competitor across the street. Suddenly your regulars aren't showing up.


Meanwhile, buyers are actively searching online for exactly what you sell — fresh produce, local spices, organic meats, homemade sauces. They just can't find you.


Here's the reality:

  • 73% of food buyers research online before buying locally

  • The average local vendor leaves $2,000-5,000/month on the table by not having an online presence

  • Most vendors think "going online" means building a website — it doesn't


All you need is to be discoverable where buyers are already looking.


That's what FarmLink does. We connect food vendors with buyers worldwide. No website needed. No tech skills required. Just your products, your story, and customers who want what you grow.
