We're building Africa's Commodity Exchange.

Trade is a platform that connects buyers, sellers, and transporters of commodities in Ghana. Trade allows buyers and sellers in Ghana to trade directly, cutting out the middlemen. You pick your quantity, grade, and price and they look for sellers to match you with. They weigh and grade every bag that they trade, deliver directly to you, and will take back any bag you reject, so you can buy without worrying.
