About Cropify

Cropify is a marketplace and set of tools connecting farmers, buyers, agricultural input suppliers, transporters, crop-disease pathologists, offtakers, and farmer groups across Uganda. Cropify is a facilitator, not a party to the transactions that happen on it — when a buyer purchases a farmer's crop, or a transporter is hired for a delivery, the agreement is between those users. Cropify provides the marketplace, escrow, verification, and communication tools that make the transaction possible and safer for everyone involved.

Who Cropify is for

• Farmers — list crops for sale, manage a farm profile, track inventory, get weather and planting-calendar guidance, join or lead a farmer group, and get paid into a wallet.
• Buyers — browse and order crops directly from farmers or from group listings, track deliveries, and manage contracts with growers.
• Agricultural input suppliers — list and sell inputs (seed, fertiliser, equipment) through a catalogue, run flash deals, and fulfil orders.
• Transporters — pick up delivery jobs, manage a vehicle profile, and get paid per completed delivery, including cold-chain jobs.
• Crop-disease pathologists — review AI-flagged disease cases and offer paid consultations to farmers who need a confirmed diagnosis.
• Offtakers — source produce at scale through contracts, track a delivery pipeline, and manage quality and spend across many farmers.
• Farmer groups — coordinate members, bulk orders, shared listings, and group finances under one roof.

How trust is built

Every account starts unverified. Cropify offers optional trust tiers — ID-verified, fully KYC-verified, and an enterprise tier — that require identity documents appropriate to the role (national ID, a selfie, and, depending on your role, a driving permit, vehicle registration, business registration, or professional qualifications). Higher tiers unlock higher transaction limits, escrow-eligible deals, and access to features like financing or bulk/export buyers. See our FAQ for what each tier means in practice.

How money moves safely

Deposits and withdrawals run through PrimePay via MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money. When a buyer pays for an order, the money moves into escrow — held by Cropify, not the seller — until delivery is confirmed. This protects both sides: a buyer isn't paying into thin air, and a farmer, supplier, or transporter knows the money is already committed before they act on the order. Full detail is in our Refund & Payment Policy.

What Cropify is not

Cropify does not grow, buy, sell, or transport anything itself, and it does not set the prices farmers or suppliers charge. It is not a bank, and it does not replace a qualified agronomist — the AI-assisted crop disease detection feature gives a best-effort automated read on a photo, not a diagnosis; for that, a farmer connects with a real pathologist through the platform's paid consultation feature.
