Introduction
Kenya’s agricultural sector remains the backbone of the economy. From potatoes in Nyandarua to tomatoes in Kirinyaga and bananas in Kisii, farmers across counties produce high-demand crops daily.However, one major challenge remains — moving produce efficiently from farms to markets.This is where structured county-to-county agricultural logistics is transforming the game.
The Problem: A Broken Supply Chain
Many farmers face:Lack of reliable transportMiddlemen exploitationPost-harvest lossesDelayed deliveriesPoor market accessAt the same time, buyers in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and other urban centers struggle with inconsistent supply and fluctuating prices.The gap between supply and demand is not production — it is logistics.
The Opportunity: Structured County Logistics
When agricultural transport is organized properly, several benefits emerge:1️⃣ Reduced Post-Harvest LossesTimely transportation ensures produce reaches markets fresh, increasing value and reducing waste.2️⃣ Stable Market PricesWhen supply flows consistently, price fluctuations reduce, benefiting both farmers and buyers.3️⃣ Direct Farmer AccessStructured aggregation systems allow farmers to sell in bulk without relying heavily on brokers.4️⃣ Increased Profit MarginsEfficient transport and reduced wastage mean higher returns per shipment.
