Buyers sit on leads. Produce rots in warehouses.

Across Southern Africa, the agricultural supply chain breaks at the same point: suppliers have produce ready to sell, but buyers don't act fast enough. Lead decay β€” where buyer interest expires before the trade happens β€” destroys value for everyone. Farmers sell at a loss. Buyers complain there's nothing available.

BhuquAgric exists to close that gap. Not with another app most farmers can't use β€” but with the infrastructure they already have: a phone that sends texts.
