WeFarm
A P2P knowledge-sharing platform for small-scale farmers
About WeFarm
Wefarm was a UK-based agritech startup that operated a farmer-to-farmer knowledge-sharing platform. The company's service allowed small-scale farmers, primarily in Kenya and Uganda, to connect with each other via SMS and online to ask questions, share advice, and access crowdsourced information on agricultural practices.
In addition to its information network, Wefarm launched an online marketplace called Wefarm Shop, which enabled farmers to purchase agricultural inputs and supplies. The company's business model aimed to create a comprehensive ecosystem for farmers, combining a social network with e-commerce capabilities. However, in 2022, Wefarm announced the closure of its operations, citing challenging market conditions that made it difficult for the business to scale.
