Soko Smart.
Direct buyer linkages for horticulture cooperatives, with logistics partners and an aggregation desk reducing the distance — informational and physical — between farm gate and final buyer.
Shrink the distance, both kinds.
Horticulture cooperatives in the Rift lose margin to information asymmetry as much as to logistics — sometimes more. Soko Smart is designed to work on both axes at once.
An aggregation desk would negotiate direct buyer contracts on behalf of cooperatives. A logistics layer would coordinate collection. And a price-and-grade information stream would keep every party honest about what’s leaving the farm gate.
Three components, one switchboard.
- A.
Aggregation desk
Cooperative-side desk negotiating buyer contracts, volumes and grades.
- B.
Logistics partners
Coordinated collection schedules with two regional logistics providers.
- C.
Price & grade stream
Daily reference grades and prices published to cooperative leaders and buyers.
