We enable smallholder rural, off-grid farming communities to meet their farming and household needs using livestock as currency
E-Mandi is UpTrade’s electronic livestock market platform which provides an innovative solution to small-holder livestock farmers and low income households looking for direct access to markets and alternative financing mechanisms. By enabling these communities to leverage their assets and unlock the non-cash liquidity of their livestock, UpTrade plays an important role in helping them purchase essential solar farming assets.
Goats for Water is where we began. This is the innovative bartering model through which off-grid, water stressed rural communities purchase solar water pumps using their livestock as currency. Our technical team and product partners design, install and maintain solar based pumping solutions based on the specific water requirements of each community, hydraulic profile of the area and the capacity to pay.
