In 2021, DGLife and Kongo Technologies jointly proposed a digital platform for market gardeners and food crop producers in Mbanza-Ngungu (Kongo Central): online sales, contact with buyers in Kinshasa and abroad, and an e-market.

The problem

Without the means to transport their harvest to market, producers see part of their produce rot.

The solution

An e-market connecting producers directly with buyers, in Kinshasa and abroad.

My contribution

As CEO of DGLife, presented the joint product to Mbanza-Ngungu producers and held talks with market gardeners’ unions on the terms of the partnership.
