They have built a digitally enabled marketplace that brings commodities into a financial market environment, allowing ease of transactions and eliminating concerns for African smallholder farmers around storage and costs.

Radava was conceptualised by founders Josephine Adeti, Ivan Otieno and Isaac Wachira while participating in a European Incubation Program.

Since its inception on 17 December 2021, Radava has served more than 1000 farmers with storage of their goods and almost 5000 farmers with critical market information.

Digilogic has facilitated a joint project between Radava and Trusty, another smart logistics challenge winner. They are working together to develop a blockchain platform.

 
“Digilogic has provided us with vital mentorship, which assisted in the refinement of our business model and whom to work with, “ says Chief Financial Officer Isaac Whachira, “ we have been connected with investors, gained personal and business opportunities through Digilogic’s support. “

The Radava Mercantile vision is to build a democratised commodity exchange in Africa and serve 50 million farmers and traders in the agriculture chain in the near future.
