At CROVA (Crop Value Africa), crop aggregation is at the heart of our model. We work directly with farmers, farmer groups, and cooperatives to buy and bulk high-demand crops such as maize, beans, cocoa, coffee, groundnuts, and other staples.
Instead of farmers selling small quantities to multiple middlemen at low prices, CROVA provides a centralized and reliable market outlet. Through aggregation, we:
Increase Farmer Earnings
By pooling crops together, we help farmers access bulk buyers who pay higher, fairer prices than local brokers.
Farmers benefit from reduced exploitation by middlemen, ensuring they get the value they deserve.
Guarantee Quality and Consistency
Aggregation allows us to standardize quality through cleaning, grading, and sorting.
Buyers receive consistent, premium-quality crops that meet both local and export market requirements.
Reduce Wastage & Post-Harvest Losses
Smallholder farmers often lose crops due to poor storage and lack of buyers.
With CROVA’s bulking centers and storage facilities, crops are safely preserved, reducing post-harvest losses significantly.
Create Market Linkages
CROVA connects aggregated crops directly to processors, exporters, supermarkets, and international buyers.
This creates a shorter, more transparent supply chain, benefiting both farmers and buyers.
Empower Farmer Cooperatives & Groups
Through aggregation, cooperatives and unions gain stronger bargaining power.
CROVA also offers them additional support like free membership registration, access to drying mats, organic fertilizers, and training.
Unlock Access to Finance
With aggregated volumes, farmers and groups can use their produce as collateral for micro-loans and input financing.
This creates a cycle of improved productivity and higher incomes.
CROVA’s crop aggregation model transforms fragmented, small-scale production into scalable, market-ready supply chains, benefiting farmers, cooperatives, and buyers alike.
