Digitalising your agrifood business: where to start

Digitalising your agrifood business doesn’t mean buying expensive software. It means using simple digital tools to be found, sell more and manage better. Here’s where to start, step by step.

What “digitalising” really means

It’s moving three things online: your visibility (so buyers find you), your sales (so ordering is easy), and your management (so you decide on facts, not guesses). You can start today, with just a phone.

The steps

• Create an online profile: a complete business page with clear name, description, location, contacts, logo and photos.
• Build a digital catalogue: publish your products with prices and clear descriptions.
• Enable easy contact and payment: WhatsApp, mobile money, and secure payment for larger deals.
• Track your basics: keep a simple record of costs, sales and stock on your phone.
• Market simply: post regularly, show your products, and run promotions.

Start small

Don’t try to do everything at once. Get your profile and catalogue right first — that alone makes you findable and credible. Add sales and management tools as you grow.
