Our Motivation: Nigeria and Africa are rich in agricultural resources, yet the fresh produce supply chain remains inefficient and disorganized. While other regions have significantly modernized their food systems, accessing authentic, chemical-free farm produce in urban areas in Africa has become increasingly difficult. Consumers have to navigate chaotic markets and conduct all sorts of checks to ensure product quality and safety. FeedMe was created to address these issues, offering a simplified, reliable solution to improve the agro-produce supply chain.

Unique Insight: A survey of over 500 Lagos residents revealed that 87.2% still depend on local markets, despite the inconvenience and inconsistent quality. Only 13% purchase fresh produce online, citing concerns about freshness and delivery. More than 90% expressed dissatisfaction with current market conditions and a strong desire for a more convenient, reliable alternative. FeedMe addresses these concerns by offering quick and dependable access to fresh farm produce, designed specifically for the needs of busy consumers.
Market Opportunity: FeedMe operates in a vast market, with a potential value exceeding $100 billion in major African cities. In Lagos and Abuja alone, the Total Addressable Market (TAM) is $5 billion and $2 billion, respectively. FeedMe’s Serviceable Available Market (SAM) stands at $2.3 billion in Lagos and $1 billion in Abuja, driven by growing demand for reliable, high-quality farm produce from Africa’s expanding urban population.

By connecting consumers directly with trusted farmers, we guarantee the authenticity, freshness, and quality of our products, all while providing convenient delivery.
