HRVST aims to connect consumers and restaurants directly to local farmers, increasing access to fresh produce while also expanding the market for local farmers (say goodbye to the middlemen!).

Aiponics, a leading AgriTech startup, announced the launch of Hrvst, a digital farmers’ market designed to make it more convenient for consumers and restaurants to get local produce. The platform has launched in Zambia and already boasts seventy-nine restaurant partners across Lusaka and hundreds of early-access users registered all serviced by over twenty farmers, small and large.

The Hrvst platform allows farmers to list their produce and sell directly to end-users and restaurants, making it easier and more affordable for buyers and sellers. The platform already has an impressive set of features tailored to support and enable each end-user to maximize the power of the platform.

The Vendor app – Includes integrated point-of-sale feature to facilitate cashless transactions using mobile money and credit card payments, performance analytics, order management and fleet management

The Driver app – View assigned orders, route optimization and delivery completion validation The Customer app – Order fresh food from an impressive array of local vendors to be delivered or pick up at designated locations, schedule future orders and explore nutritional benefits of foods listed.
