How it worksSystem architecture
Farmers register once with their cooperative grower code, farm details and payout account.
Every lot is automatically checked against the 10–12% moisture threshold, then reviewed and graded by the Tikoffi QC desk.
Compliant lots from verified farms go live in the buyer catalog with full farm profiles.
A buyer purchase places funds in escrow and reserves the lot. Nothing moves until delivery is confirmed.
On release, funds are distributed: farmer payout 85% · cooperative levy 5% · milling, qc & logistics 6% · tikoffi platform fee 4%.
No smartphone? No problem.
Dial the Tikoffi Ushirika shortcode from the phone registered to your grower code. Enter your code, choose 1. List new lot, then key in grade, weight, moisture and price. Choose 2. My lots to check status.
