GROW IT. SELL IT.

Whether it's growing now, harvesting soon, or ready today, put it on Waiya and let buyers know what's coming.

Don't wait until harvest day to look for buyers.

Free to post. Buyers contact you directly. No commission during the pilot.

You don't have to wait until it's harvested

Tell buyers what you're growing and roughly when it will be ready.

  • Growing now

    Maize or groundnuts in the field? Post it now and let buyers know it's coming.

  • Harvesting soon

    Harvesting in a few weeks? Start talking to interested buyers today.

  • Available now

    Already harvested? Let nearby buyers know what you have today.

  • Regular supply

    Eggs every week, vegetables every month? Let buyers know how often.

What can you post?

Anything you grow or raise in Eastern Province. A few ideas:

  • Maize

  • Groundnuts

  • Soybeans

  • Sunflower

  • Beans

  • Cassava

  • Sweet potatoes

  • Tomatoes

  • Cabbage

  • Onions

  • Vegetables

  • Fruit

  • Poultry

  • Eggs

  • Livestock

Not on the list? Post it anyway: just type what it is.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Take a photo

    Of your produce, or of what is growing in your field right now.

  2. Step 2: Say when it's ready

    Growing now, harvesting soon, available now, or regular supply.

  3. Step 3: Say where

    Your district: Chipata, Katete, Petauke, Lundazi. Never your exact home.

  4. Step 4: Buyers message you

    Agree quantity, price and collection in Waiya chat. No fees to Waiya during the pilot.

Who could buy?

Different buyers look for different produce and quantities. Post what you haveβ€”or what's comingβ€”and let interested buyers contact you directly.

  • Produce & market tradersBuying crops and fresh produce to resell.
  • Bulk buyers & wholesalersLooking for larger quantities of maize, soya, groundnuts and other crops.
  • ProcessorsBusinesses that turn crops into food, feed, oils and other products.
  • Restaurants & lodgesPotential local buyers of vegetables, eggs, poultry and fresh produce.
  • Shops & retailersBusinesses looking for produce to sell to their customers.
  • Schools & institutionsOrganizations that may need food and produce in quantity.

Who contacts you depends on what you post, quantity, quality, location and timing. Waiya helps buyers and sellers find each other but can't promise a buyer or sale.
