Agritech Apps & Tools
Agriculture employs more people across Africa than any other sector, and it is where a small software change reaches a very large number of livelihoods. The agritech products listed here attack the gaps that cost farmers money: knowing what a crop is worth before selling it, finding a buyer without a chain of middlemen, getting paid safely, timing planting against a changing rainy season, and proving a harvest history solid enough to borrow against. Some are marketplaces that shorten the distance between a smallholder and a wholesaler. Others are advisory tools delivered over SMS or WhatsApp, because a product that assumes a smartphone and steady data excludes the farmers who need it most. A few work further up the chain, on traceability and cold storage logistics for exporters. Every product on this page has a verified founder behind it, so you can see who built it and reach them directly. Browse the list below, upvote what deserves attention, and follow the builders solving the least glamorous and most consequential problems on the continent.

Frequently asked questions
- What counts as agritech?
- Any product serving farming or the food supply chain: farm management and advisory tools, input and produce marketplaces, agricultural finance and insurance, traceability systems, and the logistics software that moves harvests to market.
- Do these products work without a smartphone?
- Many do. Because smartphone ownership and data costs vary widely across rural Africa, a good share of these products deliver over SMS, USSD or WhatsApp, or pair a mobile app for agents with a basic-phone channel for farmers themselves.
- How do I get my agritech product listed?
- Submit it and verify your founder profile. Every listing on Builderswave is tied to a real, verified builder, and that is what separates this directory from scraped startup lists.
