Kijiji Trading
“Kijiji Trading connects small-scale farmers to the competitive markets while championing nutrition and climate-smart agricultural practices. We are addressing market challenges that smallholder farmers and their communities face such as malnutrition and limited markets. We make the value chain shorter and more transparent by ensuring end-to-end traceability hence impacting individual farmers directly. In this way, our farmers become self-sustainable with chia as new food source, which is highly nutritious.
