Why Canephora
Everything a buyer needs to know, in one place.
Where the coffee is
Search by grade, volume and distance to find lots near you, listed the same day they are checked.
Who is selling
See each seller's rating from past deals, then get their name, phone and store once you reserve.
What you are buying
Grade, volume, moisture and photos are measured at the store by a Canephora field agent.
How it works
From the huller's store to a sale. In a day.
Five steps that take buyers from searching to collecting, with facts checked at every stage.
Post it the moment the run finishes.
Sellers log a lot in under a minute: grade, screen size, volume, moisture and a couple of photos. No smartphone? Post it by USSD or WhatsApp from any phone.
- BHP, Screen 12, 15 and 18, FAQ, Kiboko, parchment and sweepings
- Location pinned to the store, hidden from buyers until they pay a deposit
- Works in the app, on the web, by USSD or on WhatsApp
Sent from WhatsApp
Verified in person. Usually the same day.
A Canephora field agent near you visits the store, checks in by GPS, weighs the coffee, measures moisture and photographs it. Only then does the lot go live.
- Agents must be within 300 m of the store to check in
- Buyers see the agent's measurements, not the seller's estimate
- Works offline: visits upload as soon as the agent has signal
Find it, reserve it, and know where to go.
Filter by grade, volume and distance to find the lot you want. Pay a small deposit with MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money and the lot is held for you, with the seller's details and directions to the store on your phone.
- Deposit prompt straight to your phone, approved with your PIN
- Seller's name, phone and exact location unlock once you've paid
- If the hold lapses, the lot goes straight back on the market
Collect, pay, and rate. Then do it again.
Call the seller, collect the coffee, and pay the balance by mobile money or cash. The seller is paid automatically, and both sides rate the trade so trust builds with every deal.
- Your deposit counts toward the price
- Seller payouts go straight to their mobile money wallet
