At AgrixTZ, we believe you can not fix what you do not understand. That’s why we have spent months walking the ground, from village gardens to city stalls, listening, observing, and learning where the real breakdowns occur in Tanzania’s fresh food system.

We did not start with code; we started with people.
What We Discovered
• Produce often arrives late and spoiled
• Brokers set unpredictable prices
• Retailers and farmers absorb all the risk

This is not a technology problem; it’s a system design problem.

Our Response

Agrixtz is building more than a marketplace; we are designing trust. That means:

• Vendors can pre-order stock digitally
• Farmers gain direct access to consistent buyers
• Transport is optimized using route logic, not guesswork
• Pricing is transparent and fair

Efficiency, for us, is not about speed; it is about dignity. It is about ensuring that every actor in the supply chain, from grower to grocer, is respected, supported, and empowered.

A Call to Collaborate

If you are working in agri-supply, ethical logistics, or inclusive innovation, we would love to connect. Let us build systems that work for everyone.
