Alajapa
B2B agricultural aggregation and export, run through field agents.
alajapa.com ↗Alajapa connects smallholder farmers in Oyo State to exporters, processors and Lagos traders through a lean agent-driven model. Field agents buy produce at farm-gate prices; the platform converts local units to the metric bag, applies markup, and lists verified stock for buyers.
The margin in this business is eaten by logistics, so shipments are consolidated into groups rather than moved per order. That single decision is what the pricing and stock model are built around.
How it is built
- Local-unit to metric-bag conversion at the point of purchase, so stock is comparable across agents.
- Consolidated group shipments to bring down per-bag logistics cost.
- Verified stock listings, so a buyer is bidding on produce an agent has physically seen.
- Containerised end to end and deployed behind Nginx Proxy Manager on a single VPS.
