From Farm to Fork Seamlessly

A secure, AI-powered & data-driven B2B marketplace digitizing agri-commerce, financing, and value-added services from farm to fork.

We are utilising this knowledge and insights gained to transform and organise the agricultural value chain for increased incomes, job creation and enterprise growth.

Welcome to Tawi

Growing Trust.
Delivering Impact.

Every day, we’re building a connected, trusted, and transparent food system. One that delivers fair prices, reliable supply, and lasting impact.

TAWI is not just a marketplace, it’s an ecosystem driving farmer incomes up to 6X, creating jobs, and powering the future of food commerce in East Africa.

With over 2,000 active farmers (65% women and 29% youth), 1,000+ returning buyers, and 450+ fresh products, we’re reimagining farm-to-fork supporting over 29,000 livelihoods and turning smallholders into thriving Agri SMEs.

How TAWI Works

From the farm gate to the customer’s plate, TAWI manages every step with efficiency, transparency, and impact:

TAWI process: buyer onboarding, receive buyer orders, aggregate orders, source produce from farmers, receive farmer produce, quality check and packaging, timely delivery to clients, local delivery, traceability and accountability

The Problem:
Broken Supply Chains Are Breaking MSMEs

Across Kenya, food MSMEs are ready to grow but lose profits, time, and growth opportunities to fragmented supply chains and a lack of access to working capital. It’s time for a smarter system, and Tawi is building it.

70% of agri-food MSMEs struggle with cash flow due to unpredictable supply and limited access to supplier financing.
40% of potential revenue is lost due to late deliveries, stockouts, and rejected produce.
60% of the final market price comes from logistics and transportation. MSMEs are often unable to absorb or pass on these costs, making their products less competitive.

AI at Work in Agriculture

At Tawi Fresh, we use practical AI to make the fresh produce supply chain faster, fairer, and more reliable. From smart recommendations that match buyers with the right produce, to computer vision systems that detect and minimize defects, and conversational WhatsApp onboarding that makes it easier for farmers to join our platform and sell seamlessly. It’s how we combine intelligence and simplicity to deliver quality, consistency, and connection from farm to fork.

SmartBasket Recommender for Buyers

Our AI model blends collaborative and content-based filtering to recommend the right produce at the right time, factoring in seasonality, buyer preferences, and real-time stock levels. The result: less guesswork, better margins, and fresher baskets.

Computer Vision Quality Checks

Our computer vision technology will scan every batch to detect and minimize defects before dispatch. By combining precision imaging with machine learning, we streamline quality control, ensuring only the freshest, defect-free produce reaches your kitchen, store, or processing line.

Outcome: fewer returns, consistent quality, and higher buyer trust.

Conversational Onboarding via WhatsApp

Getting farmers onto the Tawi Fresh platform shouldn’t be complicated. Our WhatsApp-based onboarding makes the process simple, familiar, and fast, guiding farmers step by step through registration, verification, and produce listing using natural conversation.

It’s how we turn everyday tools into powerful enablers, removing barriers, saving time, and connecting more farmers to fair, reliable markets.
