Miziba TradePoint is rural agricultural trade infrastructure — standardized verification hubs that bring structure, traceability, and data intelligence to farm-gate commodity markets in West Africa.
Farmers in Network
Rural Communities
Commodities Covered
Verified Transactions
Miziba is not a commodity trading company.
It is a trade infrastructure and verification platform.
Neutral. Standardized. Data-Driven.
Every farmer deserves to know that the weight on the scale is honest, the price is fair, and the payment is certain. Miziba TradePoint makes that real.
You bring your harvest. The buyer's scale says it weighs less than you know it does.
No receipt. No record. No proof you ever sold anything.
The price changes depending on who's buying and how desperate you are.
Payment in 7 days — sometimes 14 — sometimes never the full amount.
Next season, nobody remembers you were a reliable supplier.
Your harvest is weighed on a certified digital scale — the number is displayed publicly for you to see.
You receive an instant digital receipt with your name, weight, quality, and price.
The price is transparent. Every farmer in the community sees the same rate.
Your payment is confirmed at the point of sale. No waiting. No uncertainty.
Your delivery history builds your profile — the more you sell, the stronger your record becomes.
"When you can see the number on the scale yourself, and you get a receipt with your name on it — that's when you know the trade is honest."
— The principle behind every Miziba TradePointSystemic inefficiencies cost farmers income, prevent traders from scaling, and block financial institutions from participation.
Weight manipulation, no quality testing, and no standardized processes mean every transaction is contested and trust is absent.
No farm-level data on origin, quality, or volume. Buyers cannot verify supply chains. EU Deforestation Regulation compliance is impossible.
Financial institutions cannot underwrite informal trades. Without verified data, trade finance and structured lending remain inaccessible.
Farmers sell into opaque, fragmented buyer networks with no structured price discovery or reliable repeat relationships.
Investors and traders lack credible data on production volumes, seasonal patterns, quality consistency, and ESG outcomes.
Without structured consolidation and timely offtake, up to 30% of harvest value is lost to waste, disputes, and inefficiency.
Standardized verification hubs deployed directly within rural farming communities.
Miziba establishes TradePoints — physical, standardized infrastructure nodes positioned at the farm-gate level. Each TradePoint serves as a commodity verification hub, farmer registration center, temporary consolidation node, and trade facilitation point.
The model is designed for rapid replication. Each TradePoint follows identical specifications, operates under standardized procedures, and feeds into a unified data system — creating a growing network of verified trade nodes across agricultural districts.
Five key West African agricultural commodities — each with standardized verification protocols at the TradePoint level.
Miziba's farm-level GPS mapping, farmer registration, and batch traceability infrastructure enables exporters to meet EUDR due diligence requirements — providing geolocation data, supply chain mapping, and verifiable production documentation from the farm gate.
Five integrated capabilities that transform informal trade into structured, verifiable transactions.
Certified weighing, moisture testing, quality inspection, batch identification, and digital receipt issuance.
Identity, acreage, crop type, yield estimates, delivery history, and quality records — building a structured rural database.
7–10 day holding with batch-level tracking and structured stock management for transport consolidation efficiency.
Volume aggregation, transaction oversight, quality assurance, documentation support, and logistics coordination.
Yield forecasting, volume predictability, quality tracking, seasonal patterns, and trade flow analytics.
Miziba generates revenue through service fees — not commodity margins. The platform never takes a position on prices, preserving the neutrality that makes multi-buyer participation possible.
Per-metric-ton fees for certified weighing, moisture testing, quality inspection, and digital receipt issuance at each TradePoint.
Time-based fees for temporary batch holding, stock management, and transport consolidation beyond the initial grace period.
Transaction-linked fees for volume aggregation, oversight, documentation, quality assurance, and logistics coordination.
Subscription-based reporting for supply forecasting, quality analytics, and structured trade intelligence for buyers and institutions.
Miziba tracks real impact through verified data — not self-reported surveys.
Certified weighing and digital receipts eliminate the root cause of farm-gate conflicts.
Target by Year 3 — registered farmers with verified delivery histories and market credibility.
Year 3 target volume flowing through standardized TradePoint verification infrastructure.
No Poverty — structured market access increases farmer income predictability
Zero Hunger — reduced post-harvest loss keeps more food in supply chains
Decent Work — formalized trade creates verifiable rural employment
Responsible Consumption — traceability enables sustainable sourcing
When you place standardized verification infrastructure at the farm gate, you remove the information asymmetry that keeps rural markets informal. Farmers gain trust, buyers gain visibility, and financial institutions gain the data they need to participate. The result is a self-reinforcing cycle: more verified trade attracts more buyers, which attracts more farmers, which generates more data — creating a structured market where none existed.
Miziba's farmer registration and GPS-mapped acreage data creates the foundational documentation required for carbon credit verification programs. As the farmer database scales, this positions participating communities for carbon offset income — a secondary revenue stream for both farmers and the platform.
Miziba serves every participant in the rural commodity value chain.
Certified weighing, fair prices, digital receipts, and a verified delivery history that builds market credibility and access over time.
Verified supply with quality assurance, volume predictability, and complete traceability from farm-gate to warehouse.
Farm-level GPS documentation, EUDR due diligence data, and ESG compliance reporting for international traceability requirements.
Verified productivity data, income growth metrics, SDG alignment, and structured reporting for credible impact measurement.
Miziba's verified trade data — certified weights, quality grades, farmer profiles, and transaction histories — creates the structured documentation that financial institutions require to underwrite agricultural trade finance. Every verified transaction through a TradePoint generates bankable data: known counterparties, verified volumes, quality-assured commodities, and documented delivery histories. This transforms informal farm-gate trade into financeable, structured transactions.
Neutrality is the foundation of multi-buyer trust and long-term scalability.
Separate branding and identity from any single trading entity
Independent financial reporting and separate accounting
Standardized service agreements with all platform participants
Equal fee structure for all buyers — including the anchor buyer
Miziba does not own commodities — it enables structured transactions
Traders will only use infrastructure they trust is not controlled by a competitor.
Financial institutions require independent verification for trade finance underwriting.
Impact investors require governance structures that protect farmer interests above all.
Platform value compounds only when it serves the entire ecosystem, not one player.
Miziba TradePoint is built on years of hands-on commodity trading operations across northern Ghana.
Founder & CEO
JNI AGRI Limited / Miziba TradePoint
Joel brings an institutional finance background to agricultural commodity markets. Before founding JNI AGRI, he worked in structured finance — an experience that shaped his understanding of what it takes to make informal markets bankable. When he saw the information asymmetry and structural inefficiency in rural commodity trade firsthand, he didn't build an app. He built infrastructure.
JNI AGRI Limited — the anchor buyer and operational foundation behind Miziba — now connects over 20,000 smallholder farmers across 150+ villages to global commodity markets. The company trades cashew, shea, sesame, sorghum, and soya beans with a distinctive 2-hour payment guarantee versus the industry standard of 7+ days. This operational track record is the proof of concept for the TradePoint model.
Miziba TradePoint is the next step: separating the verification and trade infrastructure from the trading company itself, creating a neutral platform that any buyer can trust and any farmer can access. The infrastructure that JNI AGRI built for itself is now being standardized for the entire ecosystem.
