USE CASES
SASA has digitized over ten thousand smallholder rice farmers associated with the Apex Co-operative in the Mbeya region of Tanzania. Leveraging SASA’s online/offline app, USSD and SMS mobile channels, SASA connects smallholder farmers with the Co-operative, input suppliers, buyers and financial institutions.
Each engagement and transaction is captured in SASA’s back-end, creating robust, flexible and real time farmer profiles. These digital profiles are then leveraged to better understand, segment and, more meaningfully engage with the farmers with suitable information and products.
The number of farmers registered for this solution is expected to double in 2021.
Ninayo provides warehousing facilities to smallholder farmers, allowing maize farmers to safely and securely store their crops. In turn, this allows farmers to realize higher post harvest crop prices.
SASA provides Ninayo with the mobile channel (USSD) to update crop prices, record deliveries and facilitate transactions with farmers. Similarly, using the same USSD code, farmers are able to query how much of a crop they have stored in the warehouse, see prevailing crop prices, as well as elect to sell some (or all) of their stored crops. As with all of SASA’s solutions, every integration and transaction is logged to create real-time digital profiles.
SASA digitized over ten thousand smallholder farmers in the Kigoma region of Tanzania.

SASA supported DMA with an online/offline app, USSD and SMS. We also provided mobile money and bank access, empowering the farmers to save.

We also overlay financial transactions allowing the Chili Pepper Company to use local mobile money solutions to pay farmers.

Spoon Money engaged with Sasa Finance approximately 2 and a half years ago when looking for a group savings platform. They’re terrific guys, who have been willing to adapt, learn, engage and advise over endless coffees, proving themselves a valuable partner to our startup. We expect they’ll stay that way for a long time to come!
