Zunde for Farmers

Going to town? Sell before you leave.

For farmers in Zimbabwe who take their produce to town. Post your trip with what you are bringing, and buyers near your stops order before you leave. Buyers who need what you grow ask you for a price. Free for farmers.

OrdersBefore you leave

Post your trip. Buyers order before you leave.

Add your stops, the cut-off time and your price. Buyers near each stop get a message and order from your trip. What is left after the drops goes on sale near your stop.

Posting a trip in the farmer app: Sunday 11 October, orders close Saturday 6pm, a pickup point at the Dangamvura shops car park from 9am to 11am with the exact meeting point. Example data.

BuyersCome to you

Buyers in town ask for what you grow.

A request for road runners, sugar beans, rapoko or tomatoes goes to farms that have them. You see how much they want and where, and you answer with your price.

Sales in the farmer app: two buyers each asking for a quote, one for 50 kg of tomatoes and one for 20 kg of covo. Example data.

Crop namesYours too

List your crop by the name you use.

Zviyo, nyemba, mhunga, madomasi: the farmer app knows them. Add a photo and your price, and buyers find it.

My Farm in the farmer app: tomatoes at the farm’s own price, ready soon, with a Record harvest button; avocados out of season; covo below. Example data.
