π°πͺ *FEEDLOT KENYA*
_*A NEW STEP TOWARDS STRUCTURED LIVESTOCK MARKETS*_
We have been looking at how we can move beyond simply sharing livestock information on WhatsApp and create a more structured way of connecting farmers, buyers and the wider livestock value chain.
I have come across Flockr.africa , which already has a mobile platform designed to connect players within the livestock ecosystem.
The idea I am exploring is simple:
Farmers
(Beef | Sheep | Goats | Dairy | Poultry | Aquaculture | epiculture...)
Buyers & Markets
Feed & Input Suppliers
Vets & Animal Health
Transporters
Butchers & Processors
Meat Businesses
Instead of information remaining scattered across WhatsApp, members can progressively build their own digital profiles, making it easier to identify who has what, who needs what, where they are located and when they are ready for the market.
*The bigger vision is MARKET AGGREGATION:*
1. Identify supply
2. Identify genuine demand
3. Aggregate
4. Match
5. Transact
6. Build reliable market data
WhatsApp will still remain our community and communication space.
I am currently exploring how *Feedlot Kenya* members can interact with the Flockr.africa platform and whether it can help us build a more organised livestock market network.
For now, I would like to hear from members:
*WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN REGISTERING?*
