Transforming Uganda's agricultural value chain through technology, transparency, and trust.
Omukutu Uganda is a digital agricultural marketplace connecting farmers, traders, input suppliers, extension officers, service providers, and farmer groups across all districts of Uganda.
Uganda's agricultural sector employs over 70% of the population, yet farmers consistently earn less than fair value for their produce due to information gaps, limited market access, and excessive middlemen. Omukutu was built to solve this.
By bringing all value chain actors onto one platform, we enable fair pricing, transparent transactions, and meaningful market access for smallholder farmers who previously had limited power in the marketplace.
We put farmers and local communities at the heart of everything we build.
Fair pricing and open information sharing creates trust across the value chain.
Verified users, secure transactions, and data privacy for all members.
Measurable outcomes: better incomes, less waste, stronger farm businesses.
Information asymmetry – traders know market prices, farmers don't. This leads to farmers selling at a fraction of true market value.
3–5 middlemen between farmer and end buyer, each adding cost and reducing what the farmer earns.
Post-harvest losses averaging 30–40% due to lack of market access, storage, and transport connections.
Extension advice reaching less than 20% of farmers due to limited officer numbers and poor information channels.
Real-time market prices from 20+ markets across Uganda, freely accessible to all farmers.
Direct connections between farmers and buyers, eliminating unnecessary middlemen.
Logistics marketplace connecting farmers to transport and cold-storage providers.
Digital advisory channel reaching farmers with the right advice at the right time.
Every actor in Uganda's agricultural ecosystem has a role on Omukutu.
