AI-powered poultry value-chain intelligence
Farm Radar matches poultry supply to demand before value is lost.
A smart marketplace and data layer for African food systems, connecting farmers, farms, produce, buyers, logistics actors, and service providers at fairer prices with stronger food-safety signals.

Why it matters
Informal poultry markets move fast, but too much value is hidden in phone calls and opaque broker networks.
Small farms often have limited bargaining power, buyers struggle to verify supply, and perishable poultry products lose value when matching and logistics are slow. Farm Radar turns scattered market signals into visible, searchable, and traceable intelligence.
Price opacity
Farmers and buyers see clearer price bands, quantity, quality, location, and availability.
Perishability
Listings are matched to nearby demand and available routes before eggs, birds, or feed lose value.
Food-safety risk
Biosecurity reports, product-condition evidence, and delivery records create earlier warning signals.
Informal exclusion
Assisted onboarding helps smallholders, women, youth, and micro traders participate digitally.
Product view
A marketplace, logistics layer, and food-safety data engine in one workflow.
The first Farm Radar pilot focuses on poultry farms and demand actors in Nigeria, producing transaction, price, logistics, and food-safety datasets that can strengthen African food-system planning.
Verified listing
Oyo poultry cluster has fresh egg supply ready for verified buyers.
Quantity, price, farm location, production date, photos, pickup window, and farmer reliability are captured as structured data.
Demand match
Lagos retailer demand fits the listing by price, quantity, delivery window, and trust history.
The matching engine ranks buyer demand against available supply to reduce delay, side-selling, and avoidable loss.
Logistics readiness
A verified transporter is available on a same-day corridor with proof-of-delivery capture.
Farm Radar records pickup, condition, route timing, handover, and settlement evidence for a more traceable chain.
Food-safety intelligence
Unusual mortality and product-condition reports can be escalated before unsafe trade spreads.
Clustered alerts, farm reports, media evidence, and veterinary-service needs become anonymised intelligence for partners.
How it works
Six practical steps from farm signal to trusted market intelligence.
Onboard
Register farms, buyers, logistics actors, and services through web, phone, or assisted field support.
Verify
Capture location, photos, quantity, availability, contact, farm type, and consented profile data.
Match
Rank farm produce and buyer demand by price, distance, urgency, reliability, and delivery fit.
Move
Coordinate pickup, route, product condition, delivery confirmation, and settlement history.
Protect
Capture mortality, quality, hygiene, and biosecurity signals as early warnings for safer sourcing.
Learn
Generate anonymised data for dashboards, project validation, and fairer food-system decisions.
Food safety and resilience
Farm Radar is built for climate-adaptive market coordination, not just online buying and selling.
The platform helps poultry actors respond to supply shocks, delivery delays, price volatility, quality concerns, and biosecurity risks with better data and faster coordination.
Data stream
What reviewers can see
Market listings
Produce type, quantity, price band, availability window, location, and buyer interest.
Logistics events
Pickup, route, delivery timing, proof of handover, and delay signals.
Food-safety flags
Mortality reports, hygiene issues, product-condition evidence, and veterinary needs.
Inclusion signals
Smallholder participation, assisted onboarding, youth/women-led farms, and informal traders.
Pilot readiness
Aligned with fair, sustainable, inclusive, and health-promoting African food systems.
Farm Radar is prepared as a 12-month validation pathway for poultry value chains, with deliverables that create both a working prototype and useful datasets for food-system partners.
Design
Confirm pilot locations, map actors, define data schema, consent flow, and food-safety indicators.
Development
Build and test profiles, listings, matching workflow, dashboards, logistics records, and AI-ready scoring.
Validation
Demonstrate results, document lessons, share anonymised data outputs, and prepare scale partnerships.
