06.09 Analyse compétitive

In the space of Agriculture markets, first we have government market, ADMAC (Agriculture Development and Marketing Corporation). It's good platform but it's not operating throughout thee country creating room for middlem. 2.. Agriculture Commodity Exchange (ACE) is government funded institution which collected filedcrops and selling on behalf of farmers and take 5% commission from successful transactions. AGRINET is different since it's using agriculture digitisation which increase scalability than building physical infrastructure, Secondly it doesn't take commission from successful business, only affordable advertising subscription starting from MWK15 000 for unlimited advertising for 30 days on our website. Lastly, we are creating go to faster, cheaper and better online market place for national farners and buyers.
