USOMI seeks to address the paradox of hungry farmers through market facilitation. The company provides smallholder farmers with production support and guaranteed markets while offtakers and end-users enjoy consistent supply of desired volumes of high-quality commodities. 

Business Model

USOMI is a market facilitator that supports farmers end-to-end to produce staple grains and poultry under forward contracting. Use of modern technologies such as remote sensing, weather service and real-time aggregation platforms enhances productivity, consistent supply and guaranteed market access.

Adaptation Impact

  1. Enhanced and sustainable Production: USOMI provides farmers with chicken of higher productivity and enhanced resilience that thrive in free range systems for higher incomes and better nutrition.
  2. Precision Agriculture: USOMI promotes conservation agriculture, soil remediation, drought tolerant seed and use of weather data to maximize crop health and productivity.
