In an era where Ugandan farmers grapple with marketing their produce and consumers having to brave a number of inconveniences in order to get fresh produce, a solution has been born.
Bringo Fresh is a new online platform that is set to bridge the gap between farmers and technology by letting individuals order fresh farm produce online and have it delivered to their doorsteps.
According to Bringo Fresh CEO, Brian Matsiko, all consumers have to do is either download the Bringo Fresh app on their phones, or visit BringoFresh.com and after browse and select to order.
“By using Bringo Fresh to purchase produce, you are supporting local farmers, and consequently fostering the Buy Uganda Build Uganda (BUBU) development notion, but even more importantly, is that all the produce sold on our platforms is fresh and organic. The delivery in most parts of Kampala is free, which not only saves customers money but eases planning for grocery shopping and the entire household budget,” said Matsiko.
This was at a press tour of the Bringo Fresh office premises at the Uganda Cares Building on Kira Road Kampala. Members of the press were taken through the mechanics used to ensure timely deliveries, and the criterion of determining fresh products and how other consumer queries are met.
Among the fresh produce that Bringo Fresh deals in are fruits, vegetables, fish and meat among others.
