What is Afara?

A verified trade network for agro-commodities. It connects suppliers, buyers and financiers, records each delivery and invoice, and lets approved invoices be paid early.

Is there a fee?

Contact sales for pricing. The cost of financing is shown before a supplier accepts it.

What does “verified” mean?

The buyer and supplier are verified, delivery evidence is captured, the quantity is reconciled and the buyer has approved the invoice. Every invoice must pass ten checks before it can be financed.

How does Afara save time?

Delivery proof and approvals live in one record, so nobody chases tickets, photos or confirmations.

Is Afara right for my business?

If you supply, buy or finance agro-commodities in Nigeria, yes.

Why move off WhatsApp and paper?

Records are easy to lose, hard to dispute and impossible to finance against. A shared record makes each delivery provable.
