Why post-harvest loss is Nigeria's biggest farm problem, and how we fix it
5 min read
Up to 40% of Nigerian produce never reaches a buyer. Cold-chain logistics and faster farm-gate sales change that math.
Nigeria loses an enormous share of harvest between the farm gate and the market. Heat, bad roads, and too many middlemen turn tomatoes into waste before they hit a plate.
CheeFarms tackles this with verified farm listings, escrow checkout, and cold-chain dispatch so produce moves faster and farmers keep more of the value.
When buyers order closer to harvest and drivers follow defined routes, spoilage drops and farm-gate prices stay fair.
