More millions of Africans are depending on agriculture and other crafts for income and sustenance but its increasingly becoming difficult for local producers to compete with imported products in terms of pricing, quality and innovations coupled with the middlemen in the supply chain, its further increases the final prices of local products thus in most cases resulting to little to no sales.
At Alerzo, an Africa based B2B Supply chain distribution startup, we believe that the missing key to an inclusive trade is the direct connectivity using internet to effectively connect informal businesses to products ; from local producers.
We have created a mobile Online/Offline web platform which has helped thousands of retailers since January 2019 source products from producers. , We've also gathered enough market sales and products data and we are using all these information to help local producers improve their products and its packaging and combined with the access to finances that we offer, they are now able to stay competitive in the market.
