Pig farming runs from backyard pens to large commercial units. Farmers sell weaned piglets to other farmers, and fattened pigs to traders, butchers and processors, often in cash and often on the farm. Feed is the biggest cost, bought every week or two, alongside vet visits and medicine. A payments app that lets farmers take deposits for piglets, get paid safely for pigs and pay feed suppliers from a phone can win these farmers, and every buyer and supplier they deal with sees your app.

Take deposits for piglets

Piglets are often booked before they are weaned. A payment link for a deposit holds the booking and makes it clear who has paid.

Get paid safely for pigs

When traders and butchers pay by phone before a pig leaves the farm, the farmer carries no cash and has a record of the sale.

Developers at work

Grow through feed suppliers and buyers

Pig farmers buy from feed mills and agro-dealers and sell to traders, butchers and processors. When a farmer pays and gets paid through your app, each of them sees it working.
