A digital marketplace for West African commodities. Cocoa, rubber, shea, and coffee, traded directly between producers and global buyers with full transparency on price, quality, and logistics.
Producers sell blind. Middlemen set prices. A kilogram of cocoa sells for 2,800 FCFA at the farm gate but trades at $8,000/ton on ICE. The gap is information.
Thousands of cooperatives, exporters, and buyers trade through phone calls, WhatsApp, and handshakes. No central platform. No price discovery. No comparison.
EU deforestation regulations now require full traceability. Manual supply chains cannot meet these requirements at scale. Exporters risk losing access to European markets.
Nigeria has AFEX. South Africa has Hibarri. East Africa has TruTrade. Francophone West Africa, the world's largest cocoa corridor, has nothing.
Cooperatives and exporters list their lots with quantity, quality grade, origin, certifications, and asking price. All verified.
Global buyers search by commodity, origin, quality, and price. Real-time market data shows fair pricing so both sides negotiate from strength.
Secure transactions with built-in traceability. Every lot is tracked from cooperative to port, meeting EU compliance requirements automatically.
CropBridge is building the infrastructure that connects West African producers directly to global demand. Transparent. Digital. African-built.
