In most Sub-Sahara Africa, most supermarket chains are multinational operating in more than one country. This offers an opportunity to smallholder farmers and other producers to tap into the local and regional supermarket supply chains. However, High quality standards, and other requirements such as costly trading terms negatively affect smallholder producer participation in these value chains.
In most cases smallholder producers do not possess the necessary skills, expertise to break into this value chain. It is often seen as an unattainable privilege to break onto these value chains as such most smallholder producers shy away from any participation. It is not enough for Governments alone to encourage or compel these multinational supermarket chains to buy from local smallholder producers. Value chain activities do not require government intervention but rather private sector incentives such as quality adherence, local and consistent availability, reliability, prompt deliveries and many others that should encourage these supermarket chain to depend on local supply rather than imports.
Locally and regionally this is one of the many problems Travvc Trade aims to solve; for the local producer and the supermarket chains. The same applies to manufacturers and processors such as millers, refineries and breweries. By solving these problems, Travvc trade.
Global exports have a different set of risks complications in their value chains from seaworthy packaging, quality inspections, export documentation to logistics and customs, each requiring especial sets of skills, expertise and knowledge. Several times commodities that do not meet requirements are rejected despite the exporter incurring expensive freight costs. For small producers, this would result in bankruptcy in most cases. Travvc Trade pools together different value chain players of various expertise to seamlessly and virtually facilitate the movement of commodities in the export value chain. Our knowledge, skills and expertise have been acquired from real life failures and successes, making us your reliable and valuable global trade partner.

This feature of the Travvc Trade platform allows both the buyer and seller to privately input data relating to requests to buy or offers to sell a particular commodity. The data is then processed by the Travvc Trade system and openly displayed on the Platform’s marketplace. The marketspace is therefore not accessible to everyone using the app unless those registered into categories with the marketspace features. It is a data input feature designed to filter and process information on to the marketplace.
