Our Mission
Unlock the full potential of the industry with a digital ecosystem and tools to
empower seaweed farmers and stakeholders for production and value chain enhancement.
Several studies have shown that the future of the Tanzanian seaweed industry is at a stake
Declining productivity, a lack of correct agronomic practices and no coordination tool for farmers
No reliable data available, no platform for local and international stakeholders and no traceability whatsoever
No access to capital for farmers or chance to capitalize on fulfilling climate and biodiversity goals
Oligopoly exporters control the market, which results in low sales prices for farmers
A tool is needed to collect data, enhance productivity and connect supply chains
