Services

What Farmers Direct does

Four services that take an African farm product to a US buyer, each delivered against a written scope with named deliverables and dates.

Agribusiness market development

Opening routes into the US market for African agricultural products — who buys, at what volumes, on what terms and through which channels.

  • US market overviews for specific African crops and commodities
  • Demand, seasonality and pricing references
  • US import and market-entry requirements for the product
  • Channel and route-to-market planning

Commercial research

Practical research that answers a commercial question, so decisions rest on evidence rather than assumption.

  • Buyer and supplier landscape reports
  • Counterparty background and risk notes
  • Competitor and pricing scans
  • Clear recommendations, not just data

Farmer & buyer sourcing

Finding and qualifying farmers and cooperatives in Kenya and across Africa, and the US buyers that fit them, then making a documented introduction.

  • Shortlists of qualified African farmers and US buyers
  • Introduction packs with basic know-your-customer checks
  • A written record of every introduction
  • Follow-through until both sides are talking

Documentation support for physical trade

Keeping the paperwork of a physical trade complete and in order, from contract to delivery.

  • Checklists for sale contracts and specifications
  • Inspection, export, shipping and delivery documents
  • Payment-document checklists
  • Templates your counsel can adapt

Farmers Direct does not give investment advice, arrange securities transactions or fundraising, lend, issue guarantees or standby letters of credit, or hold client money. Commercial finance, import/export and commodity activities can carry their own licensing requirements; where a transaction needs a licensed firm, that firm acts under its own agreement.
