Commodity Aggregation

Commodity Aggregation is the basis of Commodity Trading. In this video, you will understand how far my team and I go to understand and solve the aggregation and trading problem in Arica. There is no technology currently available for transparent, efficient, and reliable financing, aggregation, and trading of commodities in Africa. MAP *800*008# (Micro Aggregator Platform) is designed to enable you (the reader) to participate in solving the problem of the lack of ready market for farmers by financing the purchase of their harvest through MAP and Selling/Trading the commodity for a profit to large off-takers. You can check how much we are paying a farmer for Soybean or Maize on MAP right now. Just select option 4 after dialing the code.

You may not know that our large commodities (cocoa, soybean, etc) industry in Africa is financed primarily by players who do not care about farmers and their families, just the commodities. To them, it’s purely business, but to me and many others, it is purely family, livelihood, and purpose first, then business. We put the people before the business, why? If the farmer continues to be paid little and remains poor, that means the majority of our population is poor. But if we pay the farmer better, then the majority of our people become rich, and we are all rich.

If you want to see the change you seek, especially in Africa’s Agric sector, then enable the farmer to get paid the best price for his commodities and enable us to sell/trade it to off-takers at fair market prices. As of today, we have 857 sponsors from 25 countries. I want to close this month with 1000 sponsors who will specifically fund commodity trading on https://www.growforme.com/en/
