About Us

Creating sustainable food systems for future prosperity

Lima Technologies is a B2B start-up company leveraging data to produce, distribute, and assist in consumption of food in ways that are environmentally sound, economically viable, and socially responsible.
Our approach

Data oriented

Through the Lima digital platform, agro-processors, exporters, retailers and players in the hospitality industry are able to plan and procure the best quality produce from vetted farmers remotely. This in return ensures the farmers have a stable and sustainable market with zero waste while assuring the farmer steady income for their hard work and labor.

Africa Awaits

Why now is the right time?

Today — and even more so tomorrow — Africa’s rapidly growing cities and food markets offer the largest and fastest growing market opportunity available to the continent’s 60 million farms. The total quantitative food loss in sub-Saharan Africa has been estimated at 40% post-harvest, or 100 million metric tons per year. Valued at USD 4 Billion. This is enough to feed at least 48 million people.

What we strive for

Seamless Market Access

Our platform connects farmers with ready markets, reducing the time it takes to get produce from farm to consumer while ensuring that they earn more.

Market Insights

Our data-driven approach allows farmers to align their production with market demand, reducing overproduction and food waste.

Enhancing Food Diversity

Reducing food waste encourages farmers to grow a more diverse range of crops, knowing that they have reliable markets to sell to. A more diverse diet is key to addressing malnutrition and promoting overall health.

Supporting Sustainable Agricultural Practices

By offering extension services, we work with farmers to adopt more sustainable practices that contribute to long-term climate resilience and biodiversity.

Enhancing Circular Economies

By connecting farmers with ready markets, we create a more efficient supply chain that minimizes waste and promotes reuse of by-products lowering Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Quality Assurance

We enable a transparent and traceable supply chain through data, that allows for better quality control and reduces the likelihood of food being discarded due to quality issues.
