Opes Agri

Farmer registries, produce aggregation, traceability and cold-chain logistics

Request a demonstration

Cameroon exports cocoa, coffee, banana and timber into markets that increasingly demand to know exactly which farm a consignment came from. At the same time, the aggregator buying that produce is still writing weights in a notebook and paying farmers in cash at the roadside.

Opes Agri digitises the collection point. Farmers are registered once, every delivery is weighed and graded against their name, payment goes out by Mobile Money, and the consignment that eventually ships carries a traceable line back to the farms that filled it.

What Opes Agri does

Farmer registry

Farmer identity, plot location and size, crops, cooperative membership and payment details, captured once and reused every season.

Aggregation and grading

Deliveries weighed and graded at the buying centre, priced by grade, and receipted to the farmer on the spot.

Mobile Money payment

Farmers paid directly to their MoMo account, which removes cash from the collection point and creates a payment record for both sides.

Lot traceability

Deliveries combine into lots, lots into consignments, each retaining the farm-level origins the buyer's due diligence asks for.

Cold chain and transit

Temperature and transit monitoring for perishables, with alerts before a load is lost rather than a post-mortem after.

Warehouse and dispatch

Stock by lot and grade, storage losses, dispatch documentation and the running position of what is committed against what is free.

Who it is for

Agricultural cooperatives and unions, produce aggregators and exporters, cocoa, coffee and cashew buyers, agro-processing plants, and development programmes working with smallholder farmers.

How it works

1

Farmers registered

Identity, plot, crop and payment details captured at the cooperative or buying centre, once per farmer.

2

Produce delivered

Each delivery is weighed and graded against the farmer's record, priced by grade, and receipted immediately.

3

Payment released

The farmer is paid to their Mobile Money account, with both the farmer and the buying centre holding a record of the transaction.

4

Lots consolidated

Deliveries are consolidated into lots and consignments, each keeping the farm-level trace back to its constituent deliveries.

5

Dispatch and trace

Consignments ship with documentation and a traceability record the buyer can verify down to the farms that supplied it.

Common questions

Does it work at a buying centre with no internet?

Yes. Weighing, grading and receipting work offline on a phone or tablet and sync when the device reaches coverage, which is the normal condition at a rural collection point.

Can it prove where a consignment came from?

Yes. Each consignment retains the lots and the individual farmer deliveries that composed it, which is what buyers subject to due diligence requirements now ask for.

How are farmers paid?

Directly by Mobile Money against the delivery, at the grade and weight recorded. This removes cash from the buying centre and gives the farmer a record they can check.

Can cooperatives track member contributions?

Yes. Deliveries roll up per member and per season, which supports bonus and premium distribution on the basis of what each member actually supplied.
