A specialized application, Straddle, has been created to facilitate the trade of agricultural commodities, empowering farmers with market access and bolstering the supply of raw materials to industries.
Recognizing a technological gap that left farmers without essential market insights and fair pricing, the developers aim to reshape the perception of the agricultural value chain in Nigeria and beyond.
Straddle’s founder, Omitaomu Basit, emphasized their goal of mitigating agro-trading risks by connecting farmers to markets and industries with timely access to raw materials at fair prices.
Addressing longstanding challenges faced by Nigerian farmers, Straddle, crafted by a team of University of Lagos graduates, seeks to revolutionize agricultural procurement and information sharing for farmers, traders, merchants, exporters, and the manufacturing sector.
By serving as an information hub, Straddle aims to bridge the knowledge gap, offering real-time updates, trends, and insights in the agricultural sector, enabling informed decision-making for farmers and industry players.
