About Annona
Annona is an award-winning social enterprise that is taking global food trade by storm. We are perfecting a mobile platform that simplifies trading between buyers and small-scale producers worldwide. Night and day we think about how to transform trading data into useful products and services that are both affordable and efficient.
The Annona platform is a mobile application to document details a buyer would otherwise write down on paper and pen, tracking purchases from farmers and sales to retailers. For more formal companies, Annona provides additional web-based enterprise software to centralize, customize and approve processes for their company. 25,000 farmers have profiles on Annona in 15 countries. We are on a path to becoming the largest platform for small-scale producer trading in the world.
Great traders and farmers receive financial services based on their Annona trading activity and other external factors used to build a credit history. Retail consumers can learn about where their food comes from.
