Moonso Link 🌾

Your Digital Farmer Assistant & Marketplace for Cameroon

Moonso Link connects farmers, buyers, and agricultural value chain actors across Cameroon — all through WhatsApp and Telegram. List products, search for what you need, check market prices, and get farming advice, all from your phone.

Created by CODE::DEV


The Problem We Solve

Cameroonian farmers struggle to find buyers for their produce, while buyers struggle to find quality products at fair prices. Information is scattered, middlemen take large cuts, and there's no central platform for agricultural trade.

Moonso Link fixes this. A free, AI-powered marketplace that works on the messaging apps Cameroonians already use.

  • Buyers search by product, town, region, or price

  • Browse by price: "Maize under 200 XAF"
