Farmer's Complete Guide

Your end-to-end guide to listing, selling, and earning as a verified farmer on AgroBridge Africa.

Getting Started & Selling on AgroBridge

STEP 01

Visit www.agrobridge.com.ng and click "Sign Up." Select "Farmer" as your account type.
Complete your profile with your full legal name, phone number, and verified email address.
Navigate to "Apply as Farmer" and submit your farmer application — this includes your farm name, location, produce categories, and a brief description of your farm.
Upload required verification documents: government-issued ID (NIN slip, International Passport, or Driver's License) and your farm's GPS coordinates or address.
For payout eligibility, enter your bank account details (account number and BVN will be verified through our payment partner).
Applications are reviewed within 24-48 business hours. You will be notified by email and SMS.

STEP 02

Once approved, access your Farmer Dashboard at /farmer/dashboard.
Upload high-quality photos of your farm, farming practices, and sample produce — buyers trust verified, well-presented farms.
Write a compelling farm description highlighting your farming methods (organic, free-range, pesticide-free, etc.).
Set your operating zone and preferred delivery or pickup arrangements.
Post regular Farm Updates to keep buyers informed about planting cycles, expected harvests, and seasonal availability.

STEP 03

From your Farmer Dashboard, click "Add Product" to create a new listing.
Provide accurate product information: name, category, quality grade, weight/unit, available quantity, and price.
Upload clear, well-lit photographs of the actual produce — multiple angles are recommended.
Set your harvest date, availability window, and any preparation lead time needed.
Pricing must be competitive and fair. Listings with inflated or misleading prices may be reviewed or delisted.
All listings are subject to AgroBridge review before going live. Approval typically takes a few hours.

STEP 04

Group Buys allow you to set a minimum order quantity and offer buyers a reduced wholesale price.
From your dashboard, click "Create Group Buy" and set the produce details, minimum participants, total quantity, discounted price, and collection window.
Share your Group Buy link on social media, WhatsApp groups, and community platforms to attract participants.
Once the minimum threshold is met, you will be notified to confirm and begin preparation.
If the minimum is not met by the deadline, all participant payments are refunded — no penalty to the farmer.
Group Buys help you sell in bulk, reduce spoilage, and build loyal community relationships.

STEP 05

When an order is placed, you will receive an immediate notification via email and your dashboard.
Prepare the produce to the exact specifications listed (weight, quality grade, packaging).
Arrange delivery through your own logistics or coordinate with an AgroBridge logistics partner.
Mark the order as "Ready" in your dashboard when produce is prepared, and "Dispatched" when handed to the delivery agent.
Buyer payment is held in escrow. It is released to your bank account within 24-72 hours after delivery confirmation.
Where a buyer does not confirm within 48 hours, funds are automatically released to you.
Payout is sent to your registered bank account after deducting the platform service fee.

STEP 06

If a buyer raises a dispute, you will be notified and given 24 hours to respond with your account of events and any supporting evidence (delivery records, photos, etc.).
Our disputes team will review all evidence and issue a fair determination within 5-7 business days.
To minimise disputes: always accurately describe your produce, deliver fresh and correctly weighed goods, and communicate proactively about any delays.
Your farmer rating is calculated from buyer reviews and successful delivery rate. Maintaining a high rating increases your visibility on the Platform.
Repeated non-delivery, quality misrepresentation, or failure to cooperate with disputes may result in account suspension.
Build trust by posting regular farm updates, responding promptly to buyer enquiries, and honouring your commitments.
