The infrastructure layer for Africa's informal markets
Stronger markets. Stronger communities.
Technology, data, and AI driven food market infrastructure for governments, market associations, and agribusinesses.
We configure full market systems, not just software
Real-time visibility and coordination to operate and scale food market systems, and stay resilient through local and global disruption.
We build the systems markets run on
Africa's traditional food markets handle the majority of agricultural trade, yet they operate without basic digital infrastructure. Pricing is opaque, supply chains are fragmented, and market actors have limited access to finance. We change that.
Since 2019, CoAmana has deployed technology, data, and on-the-ground networks across market hubs, reaching over 200,000 farmers and supply chain actors. We work with governments to operate and plan market systems, and with agribusinesses to see and act on market opportunity. Our team combines AI, software engineering, and behavioral science to solve the coordination, liquidity, and information gaps at the core of these markets.
